Fig. 4From: The Q/R editing site of AMPA receptor GluA2 subunit acts as an epigenetic switch regulating dendritic spines, neurodegeneration and cognitive deficits in Alzheimer’s diseaseGenetically encoding GluA2(R) rescues various aspects of memory and learning in J20 mice. a GluA2G/G and GluA2G/G/J20 mice showed a significant improvement in the percentage of correct alternations as compared to J20 mice in the Y maze (n’s; WT = 24, GluA2G/G = 20, J20 = 24, GluA2G/G/J20 = 22). b No difference between all four genotypes in the discrimination between objects in the object recognition test (n’s; WT = 25, GluA2G/G = 21, J20 = 28, GluA2G/G/J20 = 22). c In the working memory version of the radial arm maze, all eight arms were baited. J20 mice exhibited a significant increase in the number of errors compared to all other genotypes, that was partially recovered in GluA2G/G/J20 mice (n’s; WT = 14, GluA2G/G = 10, J20 = 10, GluA2G/G/J20 = 11). d In the reference memory version of the radial arm maze, three of the eight arms were baited. J20 mice exhibited increased number of errors as compared to all other genotypes (n’s; WT = 17, GluA2G/G = 10, J20 = 8, GluA2G/G/J20 = 12).
