Dose-dependent suppression of hippocampal contextual memory formation, place cells, and spatial engrams by the NMDAR antagonist (R)-CPP

Mengwen Zhu, Mark G. Perkins, Richard C. Lennertz, Alifayaz Abdulzahir, Robert A. Pearce

The paper investigates how the NMDAR antagonist (R)-CPP affects hippocampal contextual memory, place cells, and spatial engrams at concentrations that do not block fEPSPs or LTP.

Control of contextual memory through interneuronal α5-GABAA receptors

Mengwen Zhu, Alifayaz Abdulzahir, Mark G. Perkins, Chan C Chu, Bryan M. Krause, Cameron Casey, Richard C. Lennertz, David A. Ruhl, Harald Hentschke, Rajasekar Nagarajan, Edwin R. Chapman, Uwe Rudolph, Michael S. Fanselow, Robert A. Pearce

This study shows that interneuronal α5-GABAARs promote spatial learning and mediate etomidate's suppression of hippocampus-dependent memory.
