Ondansetron amelioration of scopolamine induced cognitive deficits in three-panel runway apparatus in rats.

چکیده
Effect of ondansetron (5-HT3-receptor antagonist) was studied on the working memory deficits induced by scopolamine, a muscarinic receptor antagonist in rats using a three-panel runway apparatus. Varying doses of scopolamine (0.1-0.56mg/kg, ip) were administered alone or in combination with ondansetron (0.01-1.0 mg/kg, ip) and memory errors and latency period of the session were recorded on a three-panel runway apparatus. Treatment with scopolamine (0.56 mg/kg) produced working memory deficits in rats. Treatment with ondansetron (1.0 mg/kg) significantly reduced the scopolamine-induced working memory deficits.

WEB 1881 FU ameliorates impairment of working memory induced by scopolamine and cerebral ischemia in the three-panel runway task.
Using a repeated acquisition procedure in a 3-panel runway apparatus, the effect of WEB 1881 FU on impairment of working memory produced either by scopolamine or by cerebral ischemia was investigated in rats and compared with those of aniracetam and Ca hopantenate. Intraperitoneal injection of scopolamine at 0.56 mg/kg significantly increased the number of errors (pushes made on the two incorre...
متن کاملA new method for studying working memory by using the three-panel runway apparatus in rats.
We designed a new method for studying working memory, by using a repeated acquisition procedure in the three-panel runway apparatus. This apparatus is composed of a start box, a goal box and four consecutive choice points; each choice point consists of three panel gates. Male Wistar rats were trained with 6 consecutive trials (one session) per day. Each trial was performed every two minutes. In...
متن کاملAgmatine, a metabolite of L-arginine, reverses scopolamine-induced learning and memory impairment in rats.
Agmatine (l-amino-4-guanidino-butane), a metabolite of L-arginine through the action of arginine decarboxylase, is a novel neurotransmitter. In the present study, effects of agmatine on cognitive functions have been evaluated by using one trial step-down passive avoidance and three panel runway task. Agmatine (20, 40, 80 mg/kg i.p.) was administered either in the presence or absence of a cholin...

Background: Artemisia persica is used as an antiseptic, carminative, appetizer, antiparasitic, and antipyretic agent as well as to relieve fascial pains, and in the past, was used to relieve neuropathic pain and facilitate uterine contractions during childbirth. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant potential and effects of A. persica on scopolamine-induced cogniti...
متن کاملThe effect of Crocin on scopolamine induced spatial learning and memory deficits in rats
Introduction: The cholinergic system plays an important role in learning and memory. Administration of either extracts of Crocus Sativus (Saffron) or its constituent, crocin, reduced ethanol-induced memory impairment. Based on the above findings, we investigated the effect of crocin in antagonizing spatial learning and memory impairment induced by scopolamine, a cholinergic receptor antagoni...
