چکیده
The relative failure of symptomatic therapeutic trials for Alzheimer's disease using non-selective cholinergic agonists brings about the need for longitudinal studies with parallel designs aimed at disease stabilization, using trophic substances or amyloid suppressors.

Alteration in the Expression of Alzheimer's-Related Genes in Rat Hippocampus by Exercise and Morphine Treatments
Introduction: Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disorder, which slowly eliminates memory and intellectual ability and eventually destroys the ability to carry out the simple tasks. β amyloid plaque and neurofibrillary tangles are two important signatures of this disease, which caused by mutant in Tau, BACE1, and APP genes. They could be important targets for treatment of Alzheimer's di...

متن کاملTreatment of Neurological and Psychiatric Disorders with Deep Brain Stimulation Raising Hopes and Future Challenges
The technology of Neural Stimulation in recent years has become the focus of the research and treatment, although it has been around for many years. The potential use of stimulating the brain and nerves ranges from the spinal cord stimulation to the implantations of cochlear and bionic eyes with a large discrepancy between the clinical readiness for these various uses.

متن کاملEffect of Memantine on Expression of NAT-Rad18, Rad18 and Sorl1 Genes in Rat Model of Alzheimer\'s Disease
Background and Objective: Dysregulation of long-term expression of non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) has a potential role in progressive brain disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. This study aimed to analyze the apoptosis and expression of 51A and NAT-Rad18 lncRNAs and their target genes in brain tissue and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of the rat model of AD, before and after memantine ...
