Age-related changes in auditory temporal processing in the rat.
Presbycusis, as the deterioration of hearing ability occurring with aging, can be manifested not only in a shift of hearing thresholds, but also in a deterioration of the temporal processing of acoustical signals, which may in elderly people result in degraded speech comprehension. In this study we assessed the age-related changes in the temporal processing of acoustical signals in the auditory...
متن کاملAge related changes in the rat adrenal cortex.
The present study revealed that the growth of the rat adrenal gland was relatively slower than general body growth. However, growth of the cortex preceded that of the medulla. The parenchyma showed three usual zones but a fourth inconstant lipid-poor, zona intermedia between outer glomerulosa and middle fasciculata was also observed. In all cortical zones, the predominance of dark cells over th...
متن کاملAge-related changes of monoaminooxidases in rat cerebellar cortex.
Age-related changes of the monoaminoxidases, evaluated by enzymatic staining, quantitative analysis of images, biochemical assay and statistical analysis of data were studied in cerebellar cortex of young (3-month-old) and aged (26-month-old) male Sprague-Dawley rats. The enzymatic staining shows the presence of monoamino-oxidases within the molecular and granular layers as well as within the P...
متن کاملGABAA Receptor Subunits in Rat Testis and Sperm
Background γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is considered to be the predominant inhibitory neurotransmitter in mammalian central nervous systems (CNS). There are two major classes of GABA receptors: GABAARs and GABABRs. The GABAA receptor is derived from various subunits such as alpha1-alpha 6, beta1-beta 3, gamma1-gamma 4, delta, epsilon, pi, and rho1-3. Intensive research has been performed to und...
متن کاملAge-related changes in the visual cortex
The ability to accurately perceive the speed of moving objects is one of many visual functions that decline with age. One factor that may contribute to this is a deterioration in temporal processing speed. At present, there is a dearth of information concerning how this may occur in the central nervous system, particularly in the visual cortex. Thus, in the present study, we investigated the ne...
