Rat strain differences in the acquisition of conditioned avoidance responses and in the effects of diazepam.
Adult male albino rats of three strains--Wistar, Sprague-Dawley and Holtzman--were trained to press a lever to avoid electric shocks under Sidman-type (R-S interval-20 sec; S-S interval=5 sec) and discriminated avoidance (ITI-15 sec; warning duration=5 sec) schedules, and the acquisition processes of avoidance responses, and the properties of behavioral baselines were investigated. Under both s...
متن کاملThe role of hippocampal nitric oxide in passive avoidance learning
Abstract: Introduction: Nitric oxide (NO) is a retrograde messenger in hippocampal synaptic plasticity which involves in learning and memory processes. Previous studies revealed that hippocampal pyramidal cells contain NO synthase (NOS) enzyme which produce NO and could be a promising target to evaluate the role of NO in brain cognitive functions. So in this study, using NOS inhibitor (L-NAME)...
متن کاملLow Frequency Stimulation Reverses the Kindling-Induced Impairment of Learning and Memory in the Rat Passive-avoidance Test
Introduction: The life quality of patients with epileptic seizures is highly affected by cognitive deficits. Low Frequency Stimulation (LFS) is a novel approach for the treatment of pharmacoresistant epilepsy. The main goal of this research is investigating the possible effect of LFS on seizure-induced cognitive dysfunction. Methods: To this end, the kindled animal were prepared via CA1 ...
متن کاملStep-down passive avoidance in the rat ontogeny.
Ontogeny of step-down passive avoidance (PA) was studied in 174 Wistar rats at the age of 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 13 weeks. Latency to the first descent from the safe bench (DL), number of descents (DN), time to criterion meeting (TC) and time during which animals were shocked (TS), were evaluated within learning (L) and two consecutive retention tests (R1 and R2); R1 took place at short to intermedi...
متن کاملEffect of sesame oil consumption on the passive avoidance memory of rat offspring during pregnancy
Introduction: Previous studies have shown that sesame oil affects memory and learning. In the present work, effect of a diet containing 10% sesame oil used during pregnancy was evaluated on short-term passive avoidance learning of offspring rats by Shuttle box. Methods: Female Wistar rats were divided into 2 groups (n = 9 each group). Control group consumed regular diet during pregnancy and...
