May 30, 2008 - PhysioGenix Signs Four Contracts with UW-Milwaukee.
Consomic Rats for Studying Learning and Memory
PhysioGenix and UW-Milwaukee scientists completed a behavioral battery and identified cognitive deficits in consomics rats. The researchers also identified consomic strains that rescue the deficit and this can be used as the start point for positional cloning of genes related to learning and memory.
PhysioGenix Collaborates on Angiogenesis Studies with UW-Milwaukee
PhysioGenix scientists are collaborating with Dr. Rodney Swain and his laboratory at UW-Milwaukee to investigate using consomic rats for linking the level of
angiogenesis in the brain to the rat's ability to learn and remember. These studies will use an exercise paradigm to induce angiogenesis in the brain.
PhysioGenix is using Consomic Rats in Pavlovian Fear Conditioning Studies
The response of consomic rats to Pavlovian fear conditioning tests is being conducted in Dr. Fred Helmstetter's laboratory at UW-Milwaukee. Consomic rats that are genetically similar but respond differently to fear conditioning will facilitate this mechanistic approach to learning and memory.
PhysioGenix’s Consomic Rats display natural deficits in Learning and Memory
Consomic rats have been identified by PhysioGenix and UW-Milwaukee scientists that have a natural loss in cognition, motor coordination and elevated depressive-like behavior. PhysioGenix is currently testing drug compounds for pharmacological rescue of these deficits.
