Improved reversal learning and altered fear conditioning in transgenic mice with regionally restricted p25 expression.

Abstract excerpt

Cleavage of the cyclin-dependent kinase 5 activator p35 generates the protein fragment p25, which accumulates in the forebrain of patients with Alzheimer's disease. Although p25 expression has been suggested to affect learning and memory, this hypothesis has not been tested to date. To investigate the role of p25 in hippocampus-dependent learning and memory we have generated transgenic mice expressing p25...
