objective(s): cerebral ischemia is often associated with cognitive impairment. oxidative stress has a crucial role in the memory deficit following ischemia/reperfusion injury. α-terpineol is a monoterpenoid with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. this study was carried out to investigate the effect of α-terpineol against memory impairment following cerebral ischemia in rats. materials a...

   Two omega-3 fatty acids including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are essential for the physiologic function of neuronal cell membrane. Normal function of neuronal cell membrane requires appropriate composition of fatty in its structure. Present study was designed to compare the effect of short-term and long-term pretreatment with omega-3 fatty acids on scopolamine...

the present study aims at exploring the relation between long term memory and two teaching methods: research-centered teaching and customary lecturing. the promotion of exploratory thinking which is provoked in the research-centered teaching method is considered to lead to hypothetical research and analytical thinking among students. two separate courses in neurophysiology at tehran university ...

background: it has been known that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (bdnf) is involved in neural survival and long term memory (ltm). here we hypothesized that bdnf as a potent neurotrophic factor might modulate amnestic effect induced by morphine. objectives: the aim of this study was to examine whether infusion of exogenous bdnf in the ca1 regions of the dorsal hippocampi could ameliorate me...

The distinguishability between working memory (WM) and long-term memory has been a frequent and long-lasting source of debate in the literature. One recent method of identifying the relationship between the two systems has been to consider the influence of long-term memory effects, such as the levels-of-processing (LoP) effect, in WM. However, the few studies that have examined the LoP effect i...
