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...

binayak et al in [1] proved a fixed point of generalized kannan type-mappings in generalized menger spaces. in this paper we extend gen- eralized kannan-type mappings in generalized fuzzy metric spaces. then we prove a fixed point theorem of this kind of mapping in generalized fuzzy metric spaces. finally we present an example of our main result.

constant rate of strain (crs) consolidation is a rapid test method used for determination of compressibility of clayey soils. in a crs test, the appropriate strain rate is selected based on pore water pressure ratio, i.e. the ratio of pore pressure to total stress. in the present study, to investigate the effect of strain rate on variation of relative pore water pressure, four different clay sa...

in this paper we introduce the concept of generalized baer-invariant of a pair of groups with respect to two varieties ? and ? of groups. we give some inequalities for the generalized baer-invariant of a pair of finite groups, when ? is considered to be the schur-baer variety. further, we present a sufficient condition under which the order of the generalized baer-invariant of a pair of finite ...

In this paper, we first present a new type of the concept of open sets by expressing some properties of arbitrary mappings on a power set. With the generalization of the closure spaces in categorical topology, we introduce the generalized topological spaces and the concept of generalized continuity and become familiar with weak and strong structures for generalized topological spaces. Then, int...

Freshwater salinity varies in natural systems and plays a role species distribution. Anthropogenic alterations to freshwater regimes include sea level rise subsequent intrusion of saline waters inland habitats. While mayflies are generalized be sensitive increasing salinity, we still know remarkably little about the physiological processes (and their plasticity) that determine performance chang...

Sleep is beneficial to learning, but the underlying mechanisms remain controversial. The synaptic homeostasis hypothesis (SHY) proposes that the cognitive function of sleep is related to a generalized rescaling of synaptic weights to intermediate levels, due to a passive downregulation of plasticity mechanisms. A competing hypothesis proposes that the active upscaling and downscaling of synapti...
