Introduction: Recent studies suggest that glucocorticoids modulate memory reconsolidation. Moreover, cholinergic system is involved in memory reconsolidation. Since glucocorticoids interact with brain cholinergic system in modulating memory processing, we investigated whether glucocorticoid influences on the reconsolidation of emotionally arousing training depend on the cholinergic system...

introduction: the n-methyl-d-aspartate (nmda) receptors, which have been implicated in memory formation, could be noncompetitively blocked by ketamine. the present study examines the short term effect of ketamine on induction of anterograde and retrograde amnesia in male rats using morris water maze (mwm). methods: male n-mri rats were randomly divided into nine experimental groups. mwm studies...

introduction: exposure to 3, 4- methylenedioxymethamphetamine (mdma) could lead to serotonergic system toxicity in the brain. this system is responsible for learning and memory functions. studies show that mdma causes memory impairment dose-dependently and acutely. the present study was designed to evaluate the chronic and acute effects of mdmd on spatial memory and acquisition of passive avoid...

introduction: alzheimer’s disease (ad) is an age-related neurodegenerative disease, which impairs memory and cognitive function. walnuts are a dietary source of polyphenols, antioxidants and other compounds with health beneficial effects. these characteristic of walnuts make them perfect candidates for evaluation of their possible effects on neurodegenerative diseases. therefore the present stu...

Objective: Numerous studies demonstrated the effect of grape on memory improvement. According to Iranian traditional medicine, “mavizˮ as a specific type of dried grapes can effectively improve memory.
