Experience-dependent reactivation of the calcium signal transduction pathway in the rat hippocampus during sleep
Sleep-dependent plastic changes play a key role in the consolidation of newly acquired memories. Two distinct and successive phases of sleep, slow wave sleep (SWS), and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep can be recognized in mammals. Both phases have been implicated in the sensorimotor processing of day...

Sleep-dependent plastic changes play a key role in the consolidation of newly acquired memories. Two distinct and successive phases of sleep, slow wave sleep (SWS), and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep can be recognized in mammals. Both phases have been implicated in the sensorimotor processing of daytime events, but the molecular mechanisms involved remain poorly understood. Brain expression of the plasticity-associated immediate-early gene (IEG) zif-268 is upregulated during REM sleep in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus of animals exposed to rich sensorimotor experience in the preceding waking period (Learn Mem. 6; 500, 1999). Zif-268 integrates a major calcium signal transduction pathway which includes Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) and mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK). CaMKII autophosphorylation of T286 is of special importance because it makes the enzyme active in the absence of Ca(2+), providing a biochemical memory that is critical for plasticity. MAPK, an integral component of cellular signaling during mitotic cell differentiation, has been implicated in hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) and learning and memory in behaving animals.
