Evidence for a Possible Memory Impairment Resulting from Nitrogen Narcosis in the Rhesus Monkey
نویسنده
چکیده
Three Rhesus monkeys were maintained at 200 FSW equivalent and tested on the reversal of a previously trained visual discrimination problem. All three monkeys displayed a higher percent of errors on this reversal problem than on another reversal problem tested on the surface. These data, supplemented by changes in the monkeys' post-response stimulus observation time, are interpreted as possible evidence for memory impairments resulting from nitrogen narcosis.

Myocardial Infarction in a Rhesus Monkey
Myocardial necrosis can be result from a number of causes including nutritional deficiencies, chemical and plant toxins, ischemia and metabolic disorder. The outcome of myocardial necrosis varies depending on the extent of the damage (Donald 2001, Jubb 1993, Radostits 1994, Vanvaleet 1986). Myocardial infarction without demonstrable of atherosclerosis were reported in a rhesus macaque (Gonder 1...
متن کاملEffect of nitrogen narcosis on free recall and recognition memory in open water.
RATIONALE Previous research has demonstrated that nitrogen narcosis causes decrements in memory performance but the precise aspect of memory impaired is not clear in the literature. OBJECTIVE The present research investigated the effect of narcosis on free recall and recognition memory by appling signal detection theory (SDT) to the analysis of the recognition data. METHODS Using a repeated...
متن کاملThe Effect of Intra-Medial Septum Co-Injection of Ghrelin and Nicotine on Morphine Induced Memory Impairment
Evidence indicates that medial septum nicotinic receptors regulate cognitive process. Ghrelin is a gut hormone that regulates energy homeostasis. Ghrelin also is produced in brain and known to be involved in cognitive function. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of medial septal injection of ghrelin on morphine-induced memory impairment in rats. Also, the possible relationship...

In order to better understand the descending voluntary vocal control pathway, the efferent subcortical projections of the laryngeal motorcortex were studied in the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta). For this purpose, the left motorcortex was exposed in three animals under narcosis. By electrical brain stimulation, sites were identified yielding vocal fold adduction. Effective sites were injected w...
متن کاملCaffeine attenuates paradoxical sleep deprivation induced- memory impairment during paradoxical sleep windows in rats
There is considerable evidence to support the hypothesis of relationship between paradoxical sleep (PS) and learning–memory processing. It has been suggested that PS is important in memory retention at the specific time course called PS windows (PSW). The time of PSWs occurrence and duration of these PSWs following the training sessions and, the neurochemical nature of PSWs has not been well kn...
