Delayed and bilateral changes of GAP-43/B-50 phosphorylation after circling training during a critical period in rat striatum

During the critical period of activity-dependent plasticity in rat striatum (30-37 days after birth) physiological circling behavior induces delayed modifications in GAP-43/B-50 phosphorylation by PKC. Postexercise, ipsi- and contralateral striatum to the circling direction show a similar temporal p...

Sumario:During the critical period of activity-dependent plasticity in rat striatum (30-37 days after birth) physiological circling behavior induces delayed modifications in GAP-43/B-50 phosphorylation by PKC. Postexercise, ipsi- and contralateral striatum to the circling direction show a similar temporal pattern of GAP-43/B-50 phosphorylation, with an initial decrease followed by a subsequent increase. However, there is a lag between initiation of the phosphorylation response in this asymmetrical task which does not occur when animals are subjected to exercise under conditions of symmetrical motor activity. © 2003 Elsevier B.V.
