摘 要: 揭示学习与记忆的神经机制已成为认知科学领域的一个重要研究方向。研究过程中需根据不同实验目的选用不同实验动物。LTP(long-term potentiation)是一种研究学习记忆突触基础的主要模型,其代表突触功能的可塑性。以往对LTP 的研究主要集中于哺乳动物,但由于鸟类在生物进化上具有独特的地位及特有的学习记忆能力,因此通过某些鸟类行为模型将有利于对LTP 特性及其与学习记忆相关性进行更深入的探索。 Neural mechanism in learning and memory is an important research field for cognitive science. It is necessary to select different kinds of animal for different purposes in studying learning and memory. LTP represents a long-lasting enhancement of synaptic function , is a kind of primary model for synaptic plasticity that underlies learning and memory. Reports on mechanism of LTP mainly came from mammalian before. Birds are special species in animal evolution and have characteristic capabilities in learning and memory. With behavior model of birds, the understanding of LTP and relationship between learning and memory and LTP were carried on.
