Cognitive function can be affected by the estrous cycle. However, the effect of the estrous cycle on synaptic functions is poorly understood. Here we show that in female rats, inhibitory-avoidance (IA) task (hippocampus-dependent contextual fear-learning task) drives GluA2-lacking Ca2+-permeable AMPA receptors (CP-AMPARs) into the hippocampal CA3-CA1 synapses during all periods of the estrous cycle except the proestrous period, when estrogen levels are high.

- The study investigates the relationship between the nucleotide sequences of 23S rRNA genes and erythromycin susceptibility in Campylobacter lari isolates, noting a lack of previous research on this topic.
- Out of 35 C. lari isolates tested, 18 were resistant to erythromycin, with three showing notably high resistance levels.
- The research concludes that there are no correlations between specific genetic features in the 23S rRNA genes and erythromycin resistance, suggesting alternative mechanisms of antibiotic resistance are at play.
