Effect of Ovariectomy on Reference Memory Version of Morris Water Maze in Young Adult Rats
Background: The effect of ovariectomy and accompanying sudden loss of circulating gonad hormones on spatial learning performance in the young adult rats was examined. We hypothesized that spatial learning and memory in a considerable number of women who undergo a surgical menopause and estrogen deprivation before their natural menopause be impaired. Methods: In this study, we used 26 Wistar ra...
متن کاملEffects of caffeine on learning and memory in rats tested in the Morris water maze.
We studied some of the characteristics of the improving effect of the non-specific adenosine receptor antagonist, caffeine, using an animal model of learning and memory. Groups of 12 adult male Wistar rats receiving caffeine (0.3-30 mg/kg, ip, in 0.1 ml/100 g body weight) administered 30 min before training, immediately after training, or 30 min before the test session were tested in the spatia...
متن کاملMinocycline Improves Memory in Morris Water Maze Task in Intracerebroventricular Streptozotocin Infused Rats
In the present study, the effect of minocycline was studied against intracerebroventricular streptozotocin induced spatial memory deficit. Male wistar rats were injected with intracerebroventricular streptozotocin bilaterally. The rats were treated chronically with Minocycline (10, 20 and 40 mg/kg, ip) for 17 days starting from day 1 of streptozotocin injection in separate groups. The spatial m...
متن کاملModeling spatial learning in rats based on Morris water maze experiments.
The Morris water maze, developed by Morris (J Neurosci Methods 1984: 11: 47-60), is a behavioral experiment designed to test the spatial memory. When repeating the experiment several times, the changes in time (latency) and distance (path) taken to reach the platform are indicators for the learning and memory abilities of the rat. In juvenile toxicity studies, it is of interest to test whether ...
متن کاملHuman place learning in a virtual Morris water task: some important constraints on the flexibility of place navigation.
We investigated human place learning in a computerized version of the Morris water task (VMWT) under comparable conditions to those employed by Sutherland et al. (Sutherland et al. Psychobiology, 1987;15:48-57) with rats. Participants viewed a computer-generated environment and were trained to locate a hidden goal in one half of a circular pool (region 1). The opportunity to navigate in and vie...
