The prefrontal cortex and the dorsal hippocampus have been studied
extensively for their significant roles in spatial working memory. A
possible time-dependent functional relationship between the prefrontal
cortex and the dorsal hippocampus in spatial working memory was tested.
A combined lesion and pharmacological inactivation technique targeting
both the dorsal hippocampus and the medial prefrontal cortex was used
(i.e., axon-sparing lesions of the dorsal hippocampus combined with
reversible inactivation of the medial prefrontal cortex, or vice versa,
within a subject). A delayed nonmatching-to-place task on a radial
eight-arm maze with short-term (i.e., 10 sec) versus intermediate-term
(i.e., 5 min) delays was used as a behavioral paradigm. Here we report
that the dorsal hippocampus and the medial prefrontal cortex process short-term spatial memory in parallel, serving as a compensatory mechanism for each other. The role of the dorsal hippocampus, however,
becomes highlighted as the time-window for memory (i.e., delay) shifts
from short-term to a delay period (i.e., intermediate-term) exceeding
the short-term range. The results indicate that the time window of
memory is a key factor in dissociating multiple memory systems.
Key words:
dorsal hippocampus; medial prefrontal cortex; spatial working memory; ibotenic acid; quinolinic acid; short-term
memory; intermediate-term memory
