[ 1 ] - The effects of CCK-8S on spatial memory and long-term potentiation at CA1 during induction of stress in rats

Objective(s): Cholecystokinin (CCK) has been proposed as a mediator in stress. However, it is still not fully documented what are its effects. We aimed to evaluate the effects of systemic administration of CCK exactly before induction of stress on spatial memory and synaptic plasticity at CA1 in rats. Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups: the control, the control-C...

[ 2 ] - Effect of forced treadmill exercise on long-term potentiation (LTP) in the dentate gyrus of hippocampus in male rats

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...
