چکیده

We examined in this study the basic behavioral correlates of motor short-term memory and several methodological issues with respect to the investigative paradigm. We first reviewed pioneering studies on motor short-term memory and then addressed methodological issues including dependent measures, directional biasing effects, and separation of movement cues. Finally, we examined the methodological aspects of the typical investigative paradigm used in motor short-term memory research.

Protective Effect of Short-term Administration of Ethanolic Saffron Extract on improvement of Cognitive Deficits and Decrement of Lipid Peroxidation induced by Ethidium Bromide in Experimental Models of MS

Introduction: Cognitive dysfunction is recognized as a significant feature of multiple sclerosis (MS). Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of MS. Toxic demyelination by ethidium bromide (EB) is one of the common methods for induction of MS, which leads to neuronal death by production of free radicals and enhancement of oxidative stress burden. According to previous p...

Mefenamic Acid Attenuates Intracerebroventricular Streptozotocin-Induced Cognitive Deficits in the Rat: A Behavioral Analysis

Intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of streptozotocin (STZ) in rats is followed by long-term and progressive deficits in learning, memory, and cognitive performance which is somewhat similar to sporadic Alzheimer’s disease (SAD). Epidemiological studies suggest that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) could delay or slow the clinical expression of SAD. Therefore, the benefi...
