Abstract

Object recognition memory (ORM) serves to distinguish familiar items from novel ones. Reconsolidation is the process by which active memories are updated. The hippocampus is engaged in ORM reconsolidation through a mechanism involving induction of long-term potentiation (LTP). The transcription factor Zif268 is essential for hippocampal LTP maintenance and has been frequently associated with memory processes. However, its possible involvement in ORM reconsolidation has not been determined conclusively. Using Zif268 antisense oligonucleotides in combination with behavioural, biochemical and electrophysiological tools in rats, we found that hippocampal Zif268 is necessary to update ORM through reconsolidation but not to retrieve it or keep it stored. Our results also suggest that knocking down hippocampal Zif268 during ORM reconsolidation deletes the active recognition memory trace.

  • SGK1 increases neuronal plasticity by modulating SRF and CREB1, allowing transition of stored information from short-term to long-term memories.

    “Specifically, SGK1 increases neuronal plasticity by modulating the activity of transcription factors SRF and CREB1. This process allows transitioning stored information from short-term memories to long-term memories”

    From Serum/glucocorticoid regulated kinase 1 (SGK1) in neurological disorders: pain or gain (2024) · cites this paper as Gonzalez et al., 2019

    The Introduction (page not available) discusses Zif268 and object-recognition memory reconsolidation, not SGK1. Searches for SGK1, SRF, CREB1, and short-term-to-long-term memory transition found no passage in our copy addressing the attributed mechanism. (LLM, conf=0.76)

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.
