Three time windows for amnestic effect of antibodies to cell adhesion molecule L1 in chicks

Neuroreport

Abstract

The L1/NgCAM cell adhesion molecule is involved in neurite outgrowth, axonal fasciculation and cell migration in the nervous system. We studied the effects of antibodies against L1 injected intracranially at various times before and after training 2-day-old chicks in a visual categorization task. Memory retention was tested 24 h post-training. Anti-L1 antibodies impaired task retention only when administered in three restricted time windows: immediately before training, at about 5.5 h after training and from 15 to 18 h after training. No amnesia was produced by injections before, between or after these sensitive periods (from -1 to +21 h relative to training). These results indicate that there are multiple post-training periods during which L1 is involved in the formation of long-term memory.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

Cell Adhesion Molecules in AS

Cell adhesion molecules expressed on the vascular endothelium and circulating leukocytes in response to inflammatory stimuli are implicated in atherosclerosis. Here is the latest research.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
