摘要
Pharmacological blockade of Ca2+-independent phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) is reported to disintegrate hippocampal synaptic plasticity, which is thought to be the cellular mechanism underlying learning and memory. Therefore, we investigated the effect of the Ca2+-independent PLA(2) inhibitor bromoenol lactone (BEL) on spontaneous alteration behaviors of mice. When 3 nmol EEL was intracerebroventricularly injected 30 min prior to the test, the mice showed a poor alternation ratio, compared with control animals. The data suggest that Ca2+-independent PLA(2) activity is required for spatial memory.
