چکیده پایان نامه (شامل خلاصه، اهداف، روش های اجرا و نتایج به دست آمده): کار جمع آوری گو یش های محلی در سال های اخیر شتاب امیدوار کننده ای به خود گرفته است. شاید از بارزترین اهداف جمع آوری گویش های مختلف، ثبت و ضبط آن، جلوگیری از نابودی و مهمتر از همه حل مشکلات دستوری زبان رسمی باشد. دقت در فرآیند های زبانی گویش های محلی نوع ارتباط مردم نواحی مختلف با پیرامون نشان را به ما نشان خواهد داد. از س...

Selective breeding for dominant and submissive behavior in Sabra mice.

BACKGROUND The Dominant-Submissive Relationship (DSR) model used here was developed for mood stabilizing and antidepressant drug testing. Treatment of submissive animals with known antidepressants significantly reduced submissive behavior in a dose-dependent manner. We hypothesized that if submissive behavior in DSR is a valid model of depression, it should be possible to show a genetic predisp...

Social interactions in cats: regional brain monoamine distribution in dominant and submissive cats.

Regional brain concentration of monoamines (NA, DA and 5-HT) and their metabolites (MHPG, DOPAC, HVA and 5-HIAA) were measured in dominant and submissive cats in a predatory competition test and in predatory behaviour of single cats. A submissive position in predatory hierarchy produced an increase in concentration of NA in the hypothalamus, a decrease of DA, 5-HT, MHPG and MHPG/NA ratio in the...

Behavior and Pro-Inflammatory Cytokine Variations Among Submissive and Dominant Mice Engaged in Aggressive Encounters: Moderation by Corticosterone Reactivity

Psychosocial stressors contribute to the pathophysiology of affective disorders and variations of cytokine functioning have been implicated in this process. The present investigation demonstrated, in mice, the impact of stressful aggressive encounters on activity levels, plasma corticosterone and cytokine concentrations, and on cytokine mRNA expression within the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and hip...
