Abstract:Patients with sleep apnea commonly exhibit cognitive decline and injury to the hippocampal formation. Rodents exposed to IH, a primary consequence of the condition, also show impaired hippocampal based learning and memory. While these impairments correlate with suppressed long‐term potentiation, synaptic plasticity is only one process that supports normal function in this brain structure. Adult neurogenesis is also important for maintaining normal hippocampal physiology. Although Hypoxia Inducible Factor 1a (H… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
