QRFP administration into the medial hypothalamic nuclei improves memory in rats.

Abstract:

:Even though several of RFamide peptides have been shown to modify memory and learning processes in different species, almost nothing is known regarding cognitive effects of recently discovered neuropeptide QRFP. Considering multiple physiological functions of QRFP, localization of QRFP-synthesizing neurons in the hypothalamus and its' widely spread binding sites within the CNS, the present study was designed to investigate the possible role of QRFP in the consolidation of spatial memory. As target area for microinjection, the medial hypothalamic area, including dorsomedial (DMN) and ventromedial (VMN) nuclei, has been chosen. At first, the effects of two doses (200 ng and 400 ng) of QRFP were investigated in Morris water maze. After that receptor antagonist BIBP3226 (equimolar amount to the effective dose of neuropeptide) was applied to elucidate whether it can prevent effects of QRFP. To reveal possible changes in anxiety level, animals were tested in Elevated plus maze. The higher dose of QRFP (400 ng) improved short-term memory consolidation in Morris water maze. Pretreatment with antagonist BIBP3226 abolished cognitive effects of QRFP. The neuropeptide did not affect anxiety level of rats. This study provides unique evidence regarding the role of QRFP in the consolidation of memory and gives the basis for further investigations of neuropeptide's cognitive effects.
