Memory may bedefinedaccordingtoitscontent,inrelationtotimeanditsneurobiologicalbasis: in the former case, as declarative/explicit or nondeclarative/implicit memory, and regarding time, as short-term memory (STM) or working and long-term memory (LTM) (Davis and Squire, 1984; Izquierdo et al., 1999, 2006); the latter depends on protein and mRNA synthesis (Meneses et al., 2011). Considering that memory is a field of scientific investigation in constant expansion, hence in this book the aimis offering abrief andintroductoryoverviewforstudentsofthe area,usingrel- evant and (and when is possible) recent references. Diverse brain areas (Squire and Zola, 1996; Eichenbaum, 2013), neurotransmitters (see below), and cell signaling havebeenassociatedtomemory(Viannaetal.,2000)anditsalterations. Firstly, extensive evidence indicates that disruption of cholinergic function is characteristic of aging and Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and experimental manipula- tion of the cholinergic system in laboratory animals suggests age-related choliner- gic dysfunction may play an important role in cognitive deterioration associated with aging and AD (Decker and McGaugh, 2004; McGaugh, 1989; Myhrer, 2003). Recent investigation, however, suggests that cholinergic dysfunction does not pro- vide a complete account of age-related cognitive deficits and that age-related changes in cholinergic function typically occur within the context of changes in several other neuromodulatory systems. Interactions between the cholinergic sys- tem and several of other neurotransmitters and neuromodulators (including norepi- nephrine, dopamine, serotonin, GABA, opioid peptides, galanin, substance P, and angiotensin II) may be important in learning and memory (Decker and McGaugh, 2004; Reiss et al., 2009). It is important to consider not only the independent con- tributions of age-related changes in neuromodulatory systems to cognitive decline, but also the contribution of interactions between neurotransmission systems to the learning and memory deficits associated with aging and AD (Decker and McGaugh,2004). In perspective, if receptors for all agents (e.g., hormones, trophic factors odor- ants, peptides) in addition to the transmitters were counted, a total of 1000 would not be surprising (Cooper et al., 2003). Before this abundance of neurotransmitters, IdentificationofNeuralMarkersAccompanyingMemory.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-408139-0.00001-8 ©2014ElsevierInc.Allrightsreserved. 2 IdentificationofNeuralMarkersAccompanyingMemory then, among the neurotransmitters mentioned in this chapter, we are including the cholinergic (Bentley et al., 2011; Graef et al., 2011), glutamatergic (Piers et al., 2012; chapter 3 this volume), GABAergic (Reiss et al., 2009; chapter 4 this vol- ume), dopaminergic (Reiss et al., 2009; chapter 5 this volume), and serotonergic (serotonin, 5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT) (Altman and Normile, 1988; Ogren, 1985; Rodr´ıguez et al., 2012; see below). Importantly, the behavioral endopheno- types had become an important tool (chapter 6 this volume). An excellent, fresh, and new advance is about a role for learning and memory in the expression of an innate behavior (chapter 9 this volume). Of course, protein synthesis and memory hadbecomeanimportantsubject(chapter7thisvolume). As a detailed description of the neurotransmission systems included herein is beyond the present work, then a shallow overview is provided. An excellent atlas about neuroactive substances, their projections and receptors is available (Tohyama et al., 1998); hence, in this work the contribution of pharmacology to research on the mechanisms of memory formation (McGaugh and Izquierdo, 2000) is one of the major focus. Certainly, the transporters of neurotransmission systems play a crucial function in the regulation of intra-synaptic concentrations and play an important role in memory formation, amnesia, anti-amnesic effects, and forgetting (see e.g., Tellez et al., 2012a,b). Likewise, hippocampal neurogenesis and for- gettingareimportant (Franklandet al.,2013).Finally,thediabetes case(chapter10 this volume) allows illustrating the variety of memory disorders. The basic ele- mentsofsignaltransductionpathwaysareprovided(chapter8thisvolume).

This premisehassinceservedasthebasisforthemajorityoftreatmentstrategiesanddrug development approaches for AD to date (Terry and Buccafusco, 2003; see also Bentleyetal.,2011;Cummingsetal.,2012;DeckerandMcGaugh,2004).Studiesof thebrainsofpatientswhohadmildcognitiveimpairment(MCI)orearlystageADin whichcholineacetyltransferaseand/oracetylcholinesteraseactivitywasunaffected(or evenupregulated)have,however,ledsometochallengethevalidityofthehypothesis aswellastherationaleforusingcholinomimeticstotreatthedisorder,particularlyin theearlierstages(TerryandBuccafusco,2003).Thesechallengesprimarilyarebased on assays of postmortem enzyme activity, which should be taken in perspective and evaluated within the wide range of cholinergic abnormalities known to exist in both aging and AD (e.g., Zhanget al., 2012; Zhou etal., 2012).Inaddition, the results of bothpostmortemandantemortemstudiesinagedhumansandADpatients,aswellas preclinical animal experimentation, suggest that a host of cholinergic abnormalities including alterations in choline transport, acetylcholine release, nicotinic and musca- rinic receptorexpression, neurotrophinsupport,and perhaps axonaltransportmay all contribute to cognitive abnormalities in aging and AD (Terry and Buccafusco, 2003; see also Graef et al., 2011; Martyn et al., 2012) as well as other neurotransmitter IdentificationofNeuralMarkersAccompanyingMemory.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-408139-0.00002-X ©2014ElsevierInc.Allrightsreserved.
