c-Fos expression correlates with performance on novel object and novel place recognition tests
Open accessAbstract
In rodents, many studies have been carried out using novelty-preference paradigms. The results show that the perirhinal cortex and the hippocampus are involved in the recognition of a novel object, "what", and its new position, "where", respectively. We employed these two variants of a novelty-preference paradigm to assess whether the expression of the immediate-early gene c-fos in the dorsal hippocampus and perirhinal cortex correlates with the performance discrimination ratio (d2), on the respective versions of the novelty preference tests. A control group (CO) was added to explore c-fos activation not specific to recognition. The results showed different patterns of c-Fos protein expression in the hippocampus and perirhinal cortex. The Where Group presented more c-Fos positive nuclei than the What and CO groups in the CA1 and CA3 regions, whereas in the perirhinal cortex, the What Group showed more c-Fos positive nuclei than the Where and CO groups. The correlation results indicate that levels of c-Fos in the CA1 area and perirhinal cortex correlate with effective exploration, d2, on the respective versions of the novelty preference tests, novel place and novel object recognition. These data suggest that the hippocampal CA1 and perirhinal cortex are specifically related to the level of recognition of place and objects, respectively.

Higher c-fos expression induced by the OPP, but not NOP, test was found in the hippocampal CA1 and CA3 subregions, while Arc mRNA imaging data showed higher involvement of CA3 in OPP than NOP.
“Higher c-fos expression induced by the OPP, but not NOP, test was found in the hippocampal CA1 and CA3 subregions (Mendez et al., 2015), while Arc mRNA imaging data showed higher involvement of CA3 in OPP than NOP (Beer et al., 2013).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
