Effects of Chronic Contact with Low Levels of Lead Acetate on Learning in Active Mice Avoidance Conditional Approach
Introduction: Lead (Pb) is a major pollutant in the environment, which, upon long exposure, can impose a broad range of abnormalities in the structure and function of the brain, especially in the infant. Despite the efforts made in the behavioral effects of lead on the results, there are contradictions and conflicts. In this study, we assessed the effect of chronic exposure to low levels of lea...
متن کاملChronic and Sub-acute Effects of 3,4-methylenedioxy methamphetamine (MDMA) on Spatial Memory and Passive Avoidance Learning in Wistar Rats
Introduction: In the recent years, the use of several drugs such as cocaine and morphine has reduced, but the use of "club drugs" has increased in many countries. 3, 4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) which has known as ‘ecstasy’ among people has many harmful effects on serotonergic system in the brain. This system is responsible for learning and memory. In this study, we tested sub-acute a...
متن کاملAvoidance learning in autoimmune mice.
Previous studies have shown that autoimmune mice perform very poorly on active avoidance learning tasks. In the current studies, mice with lupus-like systemic autoimmunity were able to learn active, as well as passive, avoidance protocols with shock as reinforcement. Therefore, the behavioral deficits seen in active avoidance tasks are not a consequence of the use of electric shock. Rather, the...
متن کاملDextrose Regimen in the Effect of Caffeine on Learning, Consolidation and Recall Phases of Memory in Mice
Caffeine, dose dependently can reinforce or deteriorate learning. In previous studies, the effect of glucose on decreasing of amnesia was investigated. In this study, the effect of caffeine on three phases of learning and also probable interference of glucose in mice were examined by using of passive avoidance learning .Male albino mice were examined as follows: 1. test group: a) this group rec...
متن کاملEffects of acute intra-hippocompal injection of bupropion on active avoidance learning in rats
Introduction: Learning and memory deficits in some diseases are new subjects of research. Bupropion, as dopamine and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor and an antidepressant agent, has been previously shown to affect learning and memory processes. This study was designed to test the effect of intra-hippocompal bupropion injection on active avoidance learning task in rats. Methods: Adult male ...
