What is Hippocampal mossy fibers and swimming navigation in mice: Correlations with size and left-right asymmetries about?
Individual differences in the extent of the infrapyramidal mossy fiber projection (IIP-MF) correlate with performance in tasks sensitive to hippocampal lesions, notably two-way avoidance, radial maze learning, and swimming navigation. Previous studies of swimming navigation suggested that the capacity of reversal learning and measures of directionality might also be related to asymmetries in the distribution of the IIP-MF. In order to verify these findings, the authors crossed the Collins High-and Low-lateralized mice (known to differ in mossy fiber morphology and brain asymmetries) and obtained a Fz-generation characterized by strong individual differences in these traits. Twenty-three (13 females, 10 males) mice were tested during 3 days for acquisition of swimming navigation (16 trials) toward a central platform, and during two days (12 trials) for their capacity of reversal learning toward a shifted platform. Morphometry of Timm-stained hippocampi revealed several, partially independent correlations: Larger IIP-MF projections were associated with prolonged crossing over the former platform position during the entire reversal learning; larger IIP-MF projections on the left were
