LP-BM5 infection impairs spatial working memory in C57BL/6 mice in the Morris water maze.

Abstract

Previous studies show that the LP-BM5 murine leukemia virus causes an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome in C57BL/6 mice (MAIDS) and impairs learning and memory without gross motor impairment. To assess spatial working memory impairment after LP-BM5 infection and the time course of this impairment, we tested mice in a modified working-memory version of the Morris water maze. Twenty mice were inoculated with LP-BM5; controls received medium (Minimum Essential Medium). In the test procedure, animals had two 1-min training sessions to learn the position of a randomly placed hidden platform. Thirty seconds after the second training session, animals were placed in the maze without the platform, and time and pathlength spent in each quadrant of the maze were measured. For 9 weeks after LP-BM5 infection, both groups showed preference for the target quadrant compared to the opposite quadrant. At 10 and 11 weeks after infection, the LP-BM5 virus infected mice lost this target quadrant preference. We conclude that LP-BM5 infection impaired spatial working memory in a modified working-memory version of the Morris water maze test in C57BL/6 mice at 10 and 11 weeks after virus infection.

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.
