abstract

previous studies have shown that caffeine has beneficial effects on cognitive impairment in sleep deprived male rats. therefore in the present study, we examined the effects of chronic caffeine administration on learning and memory impairments induced by sleep deprivation (sd) in the intact and ovarectomized (ovx) female rats. two sets of animals including intact and ovx were randomly recruited into the following subgroups: control, sd, wide platform (sham platform), caffeine, and caffeine plus sd. multiple platform method was used for sd induction. spatial learning and memory were determined using morris water maze (mwm) task. throughout behavioral investigation, significant learning impairment was observed in sleep-deprived ovx rats compared to the intact and the other ovx groups (p<0.05). short term memory impairment was observed in both sleep-deprived ovx and intact groups (p<0.05). 4weeks caffeine administration improved these impairments. based on these findings we propose that sleep deprivation impaired cognitive function whereas caffeine treatment reversed these impairments.

P 6: Effect of Voluntary Exercise on Learning and Memory Impairments in Sleep Deprived Female Rats

Introduction: Sleep disorders are common problems in modern societies affecting different aspects of individuals' lives. Many studies have reported that sleep deprivation (SD) leads to impairments in hippocampus-dependent learning and memory formations. Physical exercise has been shown to improve learning and memory. The objective of the current study was to investigate the effects of Voluntary...

The Effect of Acetyl-L-Carnitine on Learning and Spatial Memory Deficit in Diabetic Rats

Background & Aims: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder that in the long-term is accompanied with deficits in learning, memory, and cognitive skills. Due to the existing evidence regarding the anti-diabetic potential of acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC), the effect of its long-term administration on learning and spatial memory deficits was investigated in diabetic rats. Methods: In this exp...

Protective effect of Saffron extract on morphine–induced inhibition of spatial learning and memory in rat

Introduction: It has been reported that acute administration of morphine impairs learning and memory processes in rats. Furthermore, recent studies showed that Saffron extract improved ethanol-induced impairments of learning behaviors in mice, and also prevented ethanol-induced inhibition of hippocampal long-term potentiation. It can be postulated that there are some common mechanisms respon...

Caffeine 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...
