Method for identifying genes involved in memory formation using small interfering RNA (siRNA)

摘要

The invention process can be administered to an animal small interfering RNA sufficiently specific for (a) gene (siRNA), to inhibit the function of the gene; transcription of normal animals not treated, and (b) the animal step of training under conditions sufficient to induce dependent memory formation; including the step of determining the level of transcription dependent memory formation induced by the training of animals and are (c) the processing and transfer in animals on the method of identifying genes or gene products associated with dependent memory formation. To identify genes and gene products, there is provided a use small interfering RNA in hippocampus (siRNA), the invention, temporal and long-term memory context rather than (STM) short-term memory inhibition of genes and gene products I will provide a method of affecting (LTM).
