Cognitive maps and the hippocampus.

چکیده
Following a familiar route and finding a novel route in a familiar environment depend on different cognitive processes and representations. A recent study by Hartley et al. begins to identity the neural basis of route following and wayfinding in humans. Their study also raises important questions about the functions of the hippocampus.

Usually, in real-world engineering problems, there are different types of uncertainties about the studied variables, which can be due to the specific variables under investigation or interaction between them. Fuzzy cognitive maps, which addresses the cause-effect relation between variables, is one of the most common models for better understanding of the problems, especially when the quantitati...
متن کاملThe Effect of 8 Weeks of Concurrent Training on BDNF Values of Brain Hippocampus, Cognitive Function, Blood Glucose and Insulin in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats
Background: BDNF protein is the important neurotrophin that is involved in cognitive function. Diabetes can lead to impaired function and is a neurocognitive disorder's factor in hippocampus. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of 8 weeks of concurrent training on BDNF levels in the brain hippocampus and cognitive function of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Me...

Introduction: Trimethyltin (TMT) intoxication is associated with damage to the cholinergic system in the hippocampus. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of trans-cinnamic acid on cognitive deficit and cell damage in CA1/CA3 regions of the hippocampus, as well as measure the activity of acetyl choline esterase (AChE) in the hippocampus of a rat model of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Ma...
متن کاملP26: Vitamin D Administration, Cognitive Function, Blood Brain Barrier Permeability and Neuro-Inflammatory Factors in High-Fat Diet Induced Obese Rats
Recently neuro-inflammation and cognitive impairment has attracted attention. It has been suggested that obesity lead to cognitive impairments induced by neuro-inflammatory markers like nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) and reduced neurotrophin factors like brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the hippocampus. Also, increased blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability. Because of the neuro-prot...

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...
