Effect of long-term swimming exercise on somatosensory evoked potentials in rats.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The study investigated whether long-term swimming exercise prevents age-related changes in rat somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) and somatosensory cortex (SC) morphology. A total of 25 9-month-old rats were assigned to an exercise or control group. The exercise group swam 1 h/day five times weekly for 1 year. The results showed that long-term exercise prevented age-related changes in SEPs and SC morphology.

Effect of swimming exercise on spatial learning and memory, and voluntary morphine consumption in maternally separated rats in adulthood
Introduction: Maternal separation (MS) can lead to learning and memory deficits, and also the risk of addiction. On the other hand, physical activities may lead to long-term changes in the mesolimbic dopamine pathway and the hippocampus. This study was designed to examine the effect of swimming exercise on the spatial learning and memory and voluntary morphine consumption in maternally separate...

Introduction: Previous studies indicate that exercise influences cognitive function. Nevertheless, considering that exercise in animal study can be voluntary, or forced, effects of exercise (specially forced exercise) on learning and memory abides as a matter of controversy. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of treadmill exercise on LTP in the dentate gyrus of rats. Methods: T...

متن کاملEffects of Neonatal C-Fiber Depletion on Interaction between Neocortical Short-Term and Long-Term Plasticity
Introduction: The primary somatosensory cortex has an important role in nociceptive sensory-discriminative processing. Altered peripheral inputs produced by deafferentation or by long-term changes in levels of afferent stimulation can result in plasticity of cortex. Capsaicin-induced depletion of C-fiber afferents results in plasticity of the somatosensory system. Plasticity includes short-term...
