Cannabinoid agonist rescues learning and memory after a traumatic brain injury
Traumatic brain injury can cause persistent challenges including problems with learning and memory. Previous studies suggest that the activation of the cannabinoid 1 receptor after a traumatic brain injury could be beneficial. We tested the hypothesis that posttraumatic brain injury administration of a cannabinoid 1 receptor agonist can rescue deficits in learning and memory. Young adult male r...
متن کاملInteraction between cannabinoid receptors and inhibition of L-type calcium channel on passive avoidance learning and memory in male rats
Introduction: There is currently a debate over the interaction between Ca2+ channels and cannabinoid system on learning and memory processing. In this study, we examined the effect of acute injection of cannabinoid agonist (Win- 55212-2) (Win) or antagonist (AM251), following chronic injection of verapamil, as a L-type Ca2+ channels blocker, on passive avoidance (PA) test in male Wistar rats...
متن کاملInvolvement of α-1-adrenergic receptors in central region of amygdala and the effects of cannabinoid agonist on inhibitory avoidance memory in male rats
Introduction: There are many similarities between memory impairment in patients suffering from Alzheimer and animals treated by Cannabinoids. The agonists of Cannabinoid receptors affect on a variety of memories and leanings. The present study aims to investigate the role of α-1-adrenergic receptors in central region of amygdala in state-dependent learning induced by WIN55,212-2 (cannabin...
متن کاملTherapeutic effects of ellagic acid on memory, hippocampus electrophysiology deficits, and elevated TNF-α level in brain due to experimental traumatic brain injury
Objective(s): Cognitive defects such as learning and memory impairment are amongst the most repetitious sequelae after sever and moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI). It was suggested that ellagic acid (EA), an innate phenol product, display neuroprotective properties against oxidative and inflammatory damages after brain injury. The object of the current study was therapeutic properties of EA...
متن کاملEffect of Mild Brain Traumatic Injury on Intelligence and memory Function in Motorcycle Riders
Introduction: The most common causes of traumatic brain injury are vehicle crashes, including motorcycles, which lead to long-term disabilities. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of mild brain trauma on intelligence and memory function in motorcycle riders suffering from mild tumor injury. Materials & Methods: In this prospective cohort study, intelligence and memory fu...
