The test includes 2 parts: first force test and free selection test. First forced test: the mice were placed in the starter arm and the experimenter randomly closed one side of the target arm forcing the mice into the non-closed target arm. After the mice returned to the starter arm, the starter arm gate 15s was closed. Free selection test: after 15s all gates are opened, the mouse is allowed to explore any target arm at random, after entering one target arm, the gate of the other target arm is closed, and the gate is closed for 15s when the mouse returns to the initial arm. The procedure was repeated 14 times and the direction and number of times the mice entered the target arm each time were recorded.

As shown in fig. 4, the behavioural results showed that Ng conditional knockout mice had a reduced correct rate of T maze and a reduced rate of recognition of new objects compared to littermate negative mice.
3. Ng conditional knockdown upregulates expression levels of mouse miR-29b-1
The results of the double luciferase report experiments indicate that after the plasmid cloned with Ng 3' UTR is transfected, the fluorescence activity of miR-29b-1 group is reduced compared with that of a blank group and an NC group; after miR-29b-1inhibitor is transfected, the fluorescence activity of the recombinant strain is obviously increased; further transfection of the plasmid cloned with mut RNGN 3' UTR revealed no significant difference in fluorescence activity in the miR-29b-1 group compared to the blank and NC groups (FIG. 9). The above results suggest that miR-29b-1 can directly regulate its expression level by binding to the 3' UTR of the Ng gene. As shown in FIG. 5, further qPCR detection revealed that the expression level of hippocampus miR-29b-1 was increased in Ng conditional knockout mice.
4. Ng overexpression improves cognitive dysfunction in CCH model mice
As shown in fig. 6, the behavioral results show that model mice subjected to bilateral common carotid artery stenosis surgery exhibited a reduced correct alternation rate in the T maze compared to the control group, while local overexpression of Ng in the hippocampus was sufficient to increase the correct alternation rate of model mice in the T maze; similarly, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, the water maze results showed that the CCH model mice exhibited an extended escape latency in the learning period and a reduced number of crossing the escape platform in the test period, as compared with the control group. And the overexpression of the Hippocampus Ng obviously shortens the escape latency period and improves the times of crossing the escape platform.
The foregoing description is only illustrative of the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention, i.e., the invention is not to be limited to the details of the invention.
