Anticonvulsant and ameliorative effects of pioglitazone on cognitive deficits, inflammation and apoptosis in the hippocampus of rat pups exposed to febrile seizure
Objective(s): Pioglitazone (PGZ), a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ) agonist, has significant neuroprotective effects and has been reported to regulate inflammatory processes.Materials and Methods: We evaluated the effects of PGZ on febrile seizure (FS) in rat pups. Three groups of male rat pups received intraperitoneal (IP) injections of PGZ (5, 10, and 20 mg/kg). Lipo...
متن کاملA Biorobotic Investigation of Norway Rat Pups (Rattus norvegicus) in an Arena
Biorobotics research typically focuses on simulating specific aspects of animal biomechanics, sensory systems, and computational abilities. We have developed a novel methodology for integrating the study of biorobotics and animal behavior. We describe several metrics for characterizing and comparing rat pup and robot behavior without presupposing behavioral goal states. In the rat pup and robot...
متن کاملTowards Self-organized Large-Scale Shape Formation: A Cognitive Agent-Based Computing Approach
Swarm robotic systems are currently being used to address many real-world problems. One interesting application of swarm robotics is the self-organized formation of structures and shapes. Some of the key challenges in the swarm robotic systems include swarm size constraint, random motion, coordination among robots, localization, and adaptability in a decentralized environment. Rubenstein et al....
متن کاملEffect of Restraint Stress during Gestation on Pentylenetetrazol-Induced Epileptic Behaviors in Rat Offspring
Objective(s): Epilepsy is a neurodevelopmental disorder which is strongly influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Gestational stress has been shown to be an important factor for affecting seizure susceptibility. The present study was conducted to address whether gestational stress may affect pentylentetrazol (PTZ)-induced epileptic behavior in rat offspring in a sex- and a...
متن کاملOrganized behavioral responses to lateral hypothalamic electrical stimulation in infant rats.
Brief trains of electrical stimulation (500 msec) were administered to 3-, 6-, 10-, and 15-day-old rat pups through electrodes directed at the medical forebrain bundle (MFB) at the level of the lateral hypothalamus. Stimulation was given at three different frequencies: once per 30 sec, once per 20 sec, and once per 10 sec. Pups 10 days of age and younger became behaviorally activated by stimula...
