cognitive impairment in epileptics may be a consequence of the epileptogenic process as well as antiepileptic medication. thus, there is need for drugs, which can suppress epileptogenesis as well as prevent cognitive impairment. in the present study, the effect of khamira marwarid (kah 1 ), a formulation based on indian system of unani medicine, was evaluated on the course of pentylenetetrazole...

conduct disorder is a general psychiatric classification encompassing a variety of behavior patterns in which the individual repetitively and persistently violates the rights, privilages and privacy of others, for these children and adolescents, the authority figures like parents and teachers are assumed as intervening and punishing individuals, some of these patients are diagnosed as having at...

OBJECTIVES Much of adaptive behavior relies on the ability to learn and generate predictions about relationships in the environment. Research on aging suggests both that there is an age deficit in the ability to learn sequential relationships and that this deficit in learning could underlie age differences reported in many decision-making tasks. This article introduces the Triplets Prediction T...

it seems that shabbi didn`t travel to other countries, but he emigrated spiritually; because he influenced from the immigrant poets very much. his influence was from jobran, mikhayil, eilia abu mazi and others from immigrant poets. and it was in these bases : literary school, self moods ; like: surprise, anxiety, nature description, poem story and also in deep ideas like: thinking in sights of ...

objectives: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd) along with learning disorder (ld) is one of the most important child and adolescent psychiatric disorder. they are most often seen comorbidly in patients. our study seeks to examine the relationship between adhd and ld in our sample. method: thirty boys suffering from adhd, as diagnosed by certified child and adolescent psychiatrists u...

alzheimer's disease (ad) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder. it is characterized by formation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain, degeneration of the cholinergic neurons and neural cell death. this study was aimed to investigate the effect of a triazine derivative, c16h12cl2n3s, on learning in an alzheimer's rat model. animals were divided into seven group...

The purpose of the present study was to explore the possibility of a procedural learning deficit among children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). We tested 34 children aged 6 to 12 years with and without DCD using the serial reaction time task, in which the standard keyboard was replaced by a touch screen in order to minimize the impact of perceptuomotor coordination difficulties ...

Accelerated forgetting has been proposed as the first sign in preclinical and early Alzheimer's disease (AD). The authors investigated learning and retention in participants who later developed AD with free and cued selective reminding (FCSR; H. Buschke, 1984; E. Grober & H. Buschke, 1987), a test that maximizes learning by inducing deep semantic processing and by controlling study and test con...

In associative learning, animals learn to associate external cues or their own actions with appetitive or aversive outcomes. Although the dopamine (DA) system and the striatum/nucleus accumbens have been implicated in both the pavlovian and instrumental form of associative learning, whether specific neuronal signaling mechanisms underlie one form or the other is unknown. Here, we report that th...

The aim of the present study was to analyze handwriting difficulties in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) and investigate the hypothesis that a deficit in procedural learning could help to explain them. The experimental set-up was designed to compare the performances of children with DCD with those of a non-DCD group on tasks that rely on motor learning in different ways, ...
