context the current study aimed to review research articles concerning cortical representational plasticity following the manipulations of inputs. evidence acquisition this review article compromised previous studies in pubmed, google scholar and scientific information databases according to the keywords since 1988. results ca1 neurons depolarization paired with ca3 presynaptic input result in ...

objective(s):the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of nano-silver and garlic administration during pregnancy on neuron apoptosis in rat offspring hippocampus. materials and methods: fifty pregnant wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups: 1- nano- silver (n.s) group; 30 mg/kg of n.s treated via gavage. 2- control (c) group, administrated with distilled water via gavage....

objective it has previously been shown that prenatal maternal administration of boswellia serrata gum resin (frankincense) improved learning and memory performance associated with an increase in the size of neuronal bodies in ca3 (cornu ammonis) of hippocampus. continuing the previous work, a morphometric study was designed on ca3 field to examine precisely the effect of prenatal administration...

The aim of this study was to determine the role surgical stress on formation p53-positive and dark neurons (DN) in hippocampus, examine parallelism their pyramidal layer hippocampus. Simulated septoplasty performed 20 Wistar rats. hippocampus dentate gyrus (DG) were examined, which number DN determined at 2, 4 6 days after surgery. Compared with control group (n = 5), increased experimental ani...

Background and Objectives Regular aerobic exercise improves learning, memory, cognitive Synaptic Plasticity in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels calcineurin Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II mRNA after four weeks training exercises before AD induction hippocampus male Wistar rats. Subjects Methods Thirty 8-week-old rats with an average...

The hippocampus is located in the medial temporal lobe and is a part of the forebrain. It plays a critical role in formation of declared memories. The hippocampus is banana­-shaped and communicates with all parts of neocortex. Reptiles and birds have structures like hippocampus that potentially serve as navigation functions. During the mammalian evolution, the neocortex has a large expansio...

background: hippocampal damages, which are accompanied by inflammation, are among the main causes of epilepsy acquisition. we previously reported that chronic intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of lipopolysaccharide (lps) modulates epileptogenesis in rats. there is a network of gap junction channels in the hippocampus that contribute to epileptogenesis. gap junction channels are formed ...

seizure may occur after mild traumatic brain injury (tbi), and the severity of tbi can be considered the most crucial factor for an increased risk of recurring seizures as well as for the development of posttraumatic epilepsy. however, the effect of seizures in epileptogenesis after mild tbi cannot yet be accurately confirmed. this study was designed to determine whether mild tbi increases seiz...

the effect of endogenous serotonin on long-term potentiation (ltp) in region cai was studied by blocking 5-ht2 receptors with ketanserin in rat hippocampal slices. such a block significantly en-hanced long-term potentiation of the cai population spike induced by high frequency stimulation of the schaffer collateral/ commissural pathway. this implies that serotonin acts on 5-ht2 receptors in cai...
