P 6: Effect of Voluntary Exercise on Learning and Memory Impairments in Sleep Deprived Female Rats
Introduction: Sleep disorders are common problems in modern societies affecting different aspects of individuals' lives. Many studies have reported that sleep deprivation (SD) leads to impairments in hippocampus-dependent learning and memory formations. Physical exercise has been shown to improve learning and memory. The objective of the current study was to investigate the effects of Voluntary...
متن کاملInvolvement of muscarinic system of the dorsal hippocampus on acute stress-induced spatial learning and memory enhancement in male mice
Introduction: The effects of stimulation and inhibition of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in the dorsal hippocampus on spatial learning and memory in male NMRI mice after acute stress were investigated. Materials and Methods: Animals were divided into two subsets of stress and non-stress. Each subset consisted of: saline, atropine (a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist) (1, 5, and ...
متن کاملSpatial learning, contextual fear conditioning and conditioned emotional response in Fmr1 knockout mice.
Fmr1 knockout mice are an animal model for fragile X syndrome, the most common form of heritable mental retardation in humans. Fmr1 knockout mice exhibit macro-orchidism and cognitive and behavioural deficits reminiscent of the human phenotype. In the present study additional behavioural and cognitive testing was performed. Knockouts and control littermates were subjected to a spatial learning ...
متن کاملProtective effects of troxerutin on maternal high-fat diet-induced impairments of spatial memory and apelin in the male offspring
Objective(s): Maternal high-fat diet (HFD) is linked with metabolic and cognitive deficits in offspring. Neuroprotective effects of troxerutin, a natural bioflavonoid, have been reported recently. This study aimed to investigate the effects of troxerutin on spatial memory and serum and hippocampal apelin levels in the male offspring of HFD fed mothers.Materials and Methods: Three-week-old femal...
متن کاملCitalopram Ameliorates Impairments in Spatial Memory and Synaptic Plasticity in Female 3xTgAD Mice
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the primary cause of dementia. There is no effective treatment. Amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) plays an important role in the pathogenesis and thus strategies suppressing Aβ production and accumulation seem promising. Citalopram is an antidepressant drug and can decrease Aβ production and amyloid plaques in transgenic mice of AD and humans. Whether citalopram can ameliorate ...
