چکیده
abstract: introduction & objective: the hippocampal formation is a part of limbic system that plays an important role in memory and learning. the hippocampus is divided into three subfields: ca1, ca2 and ca3. in addition to pyramidal neurons and interneurons, the astrocytes play important roles in hippocampus, probably in memory and learning. in fact, learning needs some instruments for information storage and information maintenance mechanisms like memory. on the other hand, memory is always accompanied with learning. this study was conducted to evaluate the changes in number of astrocytes in ca2 subfield of hippocampus in rats due to spatial learning. materials & methods: in this experimental study, with the use of morris water maze and two other techniques (reference and working memory methods) in the behavioral laboratory of physiology department of pasteur institute, 15 male wistar rats were used. five rats were included in control group and 10 rats in the other two groups (each 5 rat). after performing the educational experiments, animal brain was removed and after histological processing, the slides were stained with ptah to show the astrocytes. the obtained data were analyzed by spss, using t test and variance analysis. results: the results showed a significant difference in astrocytes number of ca2 area between control and reference memory group. also the difference between control and working memory groups was significant. comparing the two educated groups, a significant difference was found in the number of astrocytes in those groups. conclusion: the number of astrocytes in ca2 area of hippocampus of rats increased due to spatial learning.

Astrocytes in Molecular Layer of Cerebellum after Spatial Learning
Introduction: Previous studies have suggested that the cerebellum is a primary site of motor learning. The cerebellar cortex has a particular glial architecture with large astroglial cells. In addition, more recent works have revealed that astrocytes play a more active role in neuronal activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the number of astrocytes in the molecular layer of rat's cere...

The hippocampal cornu ammonis 2 (CA2) region is unique in being the only CA region receiving inputs from the hypothalamic supramammillary nucleus, of importance in modulating hippocampal theta rhythm, and is seizure resistant in temporal lobe epilepsy. CA2 has, however, been little studied, possibly because of its small size and difficulty encountered in defining its borders. To investigate the...
