We have employed mRNA differential display (DD) to generate a catalog of cDNAs whose expression in the hippocampus was regulated during long-term potentiation (LTP) in dentate gyrus of anesthetized rats. DD with 459 combinations of primer pairs revealed that 80 out of approximately 70000 bands displayed showed a reproducible change in their expression level. These cDNAs were categorized into seven groups according to changes in their temporal expression pattern. Some of these cDNAs were induced rapidly, but transiently, after the LTP induction, some induced rapidly and persistently, some induced slowly, and some down-regulated following LTP. This suggests that a complex molecular hierarchy underlies the maintenance of hippocampal LTP.

D006624 Hippocampus A curved elevation of GRAY MATTER extending the entire length of the floor of the TEMPORAL HORN of the LATERAL VENTRICLE (see also TEMPORAL LOBE). The hippocampus proper, subiculum, and DENTATE GYRUS constitute the hippocampal formation. Sometimes authors include the ENTORHINAL CORTEX in the hippocampal formation.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D017774 Long-Term Potentiation A persistent increase in synaptic efficacy, usually induced by appropriate activation of the same synapses. The phenomenological properties of long-term potentiation suggest that it may be a cellular mechanism of learning and memory.
