Effects of orexin-A on memory processing

Jaeger, Laura B, Farr, Susan A, Banks, William A, Morley, John E·2002·Peptides

Abstract

Orexin-A is an endogenous peptide with receptors present throughout the brain. Here, we examined the effect of post-training administration of orexin-A on retention in active and passive avoidance. Orexin-A administered by intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection to CD-1 mice post-training improved retention in both T-maze footshock avoidance and one trial step-down passive avoidance. SAMP8 mice have age-related deficits in learning and memory, which correlate with an increase in brain levels of beta amyloid (Abeta) and an impaired response to memory-enhancing compounds. Orexin-A at 3nmol improved retention in young and old SAMP8 mice. These findings show that orexin-A can improve memory even with overproduction of Abeta.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Orexin is associated with memory processing, motivation, reward, and addiction, which have been described as behaviors that are affected by TBI.

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.
