Moreover, it has pro-cognitive and anti-depressive effects in the central nervous system. Leptin receptor expressed in the different brain areas particularly hippocampus where are they had a modulating effect on the synaptic plasticity regulation, synaptogenesis and promotes hippocampal-dependent learning and memory. Leptin directly influences on the glutamate receptors recycling in the hippocampal CA1 field through PI3K-signalling pathway. To dissect the mechanisms by which leptin induced of synaptic PIP3 generation we analyzed proteins domains structure which to involve in the counter-regulation hippocampal excitatory synaptic network.
