The septohippocampal system participates in general anesthesia.
How the brain mediates general anesthesia is not known. We report that two interconnected structures in the forebrain, the medial septum and the hippocampus, participate in maintaining awareness and movements during general anesthesia. In the awake, freely behaving rat, inactivation of the medial septum or the hippocampus by local injection of a GABA(A) receptor agonist, muscimol, decreased the...
متن کاملThe Role of the Septohippocampal Cholinergic System in Cognitive Functions
Cholinergic dysfunction is a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This dysfunction is assumed to be mainly responsible for the cognitive defects in AD. However, the mechanism by which the cholinergic system regulates cognitive functions is elusive. This study was designed to find out the role of the septohippocampal cholinergic system in cognitive functions. The methods used were behavioural t...
متن کاملAcute ethanol exposure elevates muscarinic tone in the septohippocampal system.
The septohippocampal system has been implicated in the cognitive deficits associated with ethanol consumption, but the cellular basis of ethanol action awaits full elucidation. In the medial septum/diagonal band of Broca (MS/DB), a muscarinic tone, reflective of firing activity of resident cholinergic neurons, regulates that of their noncholinergic, putatively GABAergic, counterparts. Here we t...
متن کاملDo ants make direct comparisons?
Many individual decisions are informed by direct comparison of the alternatives. In collective decisions, however, only certain group members may have the opportunity to compare options. Emigrating ant colonies (Temnothorax albipennis) show sophisticated nest-site choice, selecting superior sites even when they are nine times further away than the alternative. How do they do this? We used radio...
متن کاملBasic Student Rights within the Iranian Legal System
Having a clear set of basic Iranian students’ legal rights could serve as a practical guideline to commitments and responsibilities of teachers, administrators, and others dealing with education. To this end, all existing legal documents related to the topic were content analyzed. The result has been a set of fourteen principle areas which can be categorized into three subsets depending on the ...
