摘要

Summary Aims Although extensive investigation has revealed that an astrocyte‐specific protein aquaporin‐4 ( AQP 4) participates in regulating synaptic plasticity and memory, a functional relationship between AQP 4 and learning processing has not been clearly established. This study was designed to test our hypothesis that AQP 4 modulates the aversive motivation in Morris water maze ( MWM ). Methods and Results Using hidden platform training, we observed that AQP 4 KO mice significantly decreased their swimming velocity compared with wild‐type ( WT ) mice. To test for a relationship between velocities and escape motivation, we removed the platform and subjected a new group of mice similar to the session of hidden platform training. We found that KO mice exhibited a gradual reduction in swimming velocity, while WT mice did not alter their velocity. In the subsequent probe trial, KO mice after no platform training significantly decreased their mean velocity compared with those KO mice after hide platform training. However, all of KO mice were not impaired in their ability to locate a visible, cued escape platform. Conclusions Our findings, along with a previous report that AQP 4 regulates memory consolidation, implicate a novel role for this glial protein in modulating the aversive motivation in spatial learning paradigm.
