Abstract:

Introduction: Evidence indicates that morphine impairs memory process. Ghrelin hormone has been linked to learning and memory processes and modulates reward properties of addictive drugs. In this study we examined the role of middle septal ghrelin receptors in the effects of morphine on memory consolidation in passive avoidance learning.   Materials & Methods: In this experimental study, 91 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 13 (n=7) groups: saline (1ml/kg), morphine (0.5- 7.5 mg/kg), ghrelin (0- 1 nmol/μl) plus morphine (7.5 mg/kg) or saline (1ml/kg). In ghrelin treated groups animals received intra- medial Septum injection of ghrelin immediately after training and 5 min later saline or morphine was injected subcutaneously. Testing phase was done 24 h after training. Data were analyzed using ANOVA analysis followed by Tukey multiple comparison test. Ethics code: IR.ARAKMU.REC.1397.215   Findings: Post-training administration of morphine reduced step-through latency and increased Total dark chamber compared with saline group (p< 0.001). Intra- medial Septum injection of ghrelin inhibited morphine-induced amnesia (p< 0.001). Administration of ghrelin alone had no significant effect on memory retrieval (P > 0.05).   Disscution & Conclusions: Ghrelin is able to prevent the deleterious effects of morphine on memory and learning in the inhibitory avoidance model and the medial septal region may be involved in this effect.

Involvement of Median Septum Region in Ghrelin Effects on Morphine-Induced Memory Impairment in Passive Avoidance Learning

Background and purpose: Many studies have reported the effect of morphine on memory impairment. Evidence suggests that ghrelin enhances memory consolidation. The median septum also has a major role in memory and learning mechanisms. The present study aimed at investigating the role of median septum on the effects of ghrelin in morphine-induced amnesia. Materials and methods: In this experiment...

چکیده ارتباط در کلاس به عوامل زیادی از جمله معلمان، دانش آموزان، برنامه های درسی و از همه مهم تر، مواد آموزشی وابسته است. در تدریس ارتباطی زبان که تاکید زیادی بر توانش ارتباطی دارد، کتاب درسی به عنوان عامل موثر بر پویایی کلاس محسوب میگردد که درس ها را از طریق فراهم آوردن متن ارتباط کلاسی و هم چنین نوع تمرین زبانی که دانش آموزان در طول فعالیت های کلاسی به آن مشغول اند، کنترل می کند. این حقیقت ک...
