Article Abstract
Peroxiredoxin 2 (Prx2) regulates oxidative stress response in neuronal injury. The present study examined the effects of Prx2 deletion on transient global ischemia-induced hippocampal-dependent memory impairment. First, 20-min bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (BCCAO)-reperfusion and sham-operated control procedures were conducted in 6- or 7-month-old Prx2 knockout and wild-type mice. The cognitive status of these mice was assessed using the Morris water maze task with a hidden platform and a novel object recognition task 7 days after the 20-min BCCAO. Next, to evaluate neuronal degeneration and oxidative stress in the CA1 subregion of the hippocampus critical for learning and memory, we measured immunoreactive Fluoro-jade C (FJC)-positive signals and 4-hydroxy-2-trans-nonenal (4-HNE) levels, respectively. The 20-min BCCAO induced cognitive impairments and increased the intensity of FJC-positive signals and 4-HNE levels of CA1 in Prx2 knockout mice but not in wild-type mice. These results suggest that Prx2 deficiency reduces resilience to transient global ischemia.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that leads to progressive cognitive decline and significant disruptions in hippocampal neural networks, critically impacting memory and learning. Understanding the neural mechanisms underlying these impairments is essential for developing effective therapies. The 5xFAD mouse model, known for progressive neurodegeneration and cognitive deficits, provides a valuable platform for investigating associative learning and memory impairments related to AD.

Obesity is associated with increased gut permeability, which contributes to a state of chronic low-grade inflammation. Obesity is also linked with altered neurocognitive functions, including impaired learning and memory. Whether these changes are secondary to neuroinflammation versus other comorbidities associated with obesity is unknown.

Background: Identifying compounds with neuroprotective properties that target the neurogenic process will have a considerable impact on dementia prevention.
Methods: This is a secondary analysis of a 24-week randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled anthocyanin supplementation trial in 181 participants. Using blood-derived serum collected during this trial, we treated hippocampal progenitor cells and analysed the ensuing cellular changes in the context of the participant's clinical and blood-based biomarker data.

Background: Dysregulation of the endocannabinoid system (eCBS) and the loss of CB1 receptors (CB1R) in the basal ganglia are well-established hallmarks of Huntington's disease (HD). As a result, significant research efforts have focused on targeting the eCBS to alleviate motor disturbances associated with the disease. Beyond its role in motor control, the eCBS is a complex signaling network critically involved in regulating learning and memory.

Background And Objectives: Growing evidence has suggested that elevated Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) levels, a gut microbiota-dependent metabolite, are closely associated with brain aging and cognitive impairment. Glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (GSK-3β) activity was depicted to be essential in regulating learning and memory. The current study examined the impact of TMAO on cognitive function in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients and rat models while exploring the mechanisms regulating the TMAO-induced GSK-3β signaling.
