Anisomycin injection in area CA3 of the hippocampus impairs both short-term and long-term memories of contextual fear

International audienceProtein synthesis is involved in the consolidation of short-term memory into long-term memory. Previous electrophysiological data concerning LTP in CA3 suggest that protein synthesis in that region might also be necessary for short-term memory. We tested this hypothesis by locally injecting the protein synthesis inhibitor anisomycin in hippocampal area CA1 or CA3 immediately after contextual fear conditioning. As previously shown, injections in CA1 impaired long-term memory but spared short-term memory. Conversely, injections in CA3 impaired both long-term and short-term memories. We conclude that early steps of experience-induced plasticity occurring in CA3 and underlying short-term memory require protein synthesis

Evaluation of the good tumor response of embryonal tumor with abundant neuropil and true rosettes (ETANTR).

The embryonal tumor with abundant neuropil and true rosettes is a rare and highly malignant variant of embryonal brain tumors. It usually affects infants and young children under the age of 4 years and exhibits a very aggressive course with a dismal prognosis. For the 68 cases reported to date the mean age at diagnosis was 25.42 months (range 3-57 months). Survival data are available for 48 children (including our case): the median overall survival is 13.0 months, though 6 (9 %) of the children have had a relative long survival (>30 months). The aggressive combined treatment, involving primary surgical tumor removal, adjuvant polychemotherapy, including high-dose chemotherapy with stem cell transplantation, radiotherapy and radiochemotherapy, might play an important role in the longer survival. We have performed a literature review and we present here a multimodal-treated case of a 2- year-old girl with a long survival, who was reoperated when recurrence occurred. The residual tumor demonstrated a good response to temozolomide radiochemotherapy (craniospinal axis + boost) and followed by maintenance temozolomide. The described complex aggressive treatment option might be considered for future cases of this tumor entity
