T-maze Forced Alternation and Left-right Discrimination Tasks for Assessing Working and Reference Memory in Mice
Forced alternation and left-right discrimination tasks using the T-maze have been widely used to assess working and reference memory, respectively, in rodents. In our laboratory, we evaluated the two types of memory in more than 30 strains of genetically engineered mice using the automated version of this apparatus. Here, we present the modified T-maze apparatus operated by a computer with a vi...
متن کاملEffects of Electromagnetic Radiation from Smartphones on Learning Ability and Hippocampal Progenitor Cell Proliferation in Mice.
OBJECTIVES Nonionizing radiation is emitted from electronic devices, such as smartphones. In this study, we intended to elucidate the effect of electromagnetic radiation from smartphones on spatial working memory and progenitor cell proliferation in the hippocampus. METHODS Both male and female mice were randomly separated into two groups (radiated and control) and the radiated group was expo...
متن کاملMale mice exhibit better spatial working and reference memory than females in a water-escape radial arm maze task.
The present study examined sex differences in spatial working and reference memory in C57BL/6 mice. Males and females were tested in a version of the spatial 8-arm radial arm maze in which the motivating stimulus was escape from water. To test spatial working memory, four arms were baited with submerged escape platforms, each of which was removed after it was found. Four arms that never contain...
متن کاملMemory-enhancing Properties of Hypericum scabrum Essential Oil in a Rat Model of Dementia
Hypericum species are known to be used in traditional therapies. H. scabrum L. is one of the Hypericum species distributed in Turkey. In this study, we evaluated the effects of Hypericum scabrum essential oil inhalation on spatial memory in scopolamine-induced amnesic rats. The essential oil was characterized by GC-FID and GC-MS system. Male wistar rats were divided into 6 groups: control; scop...
متن کاملScopolamine injected into the rat amygdala impairs working memory in the double Y-maze.
Recent neurochemical results suggest the hypothesis that the nucleus basalis magnocellularis (nbm) cholinergic projection to the amygdala may play a role in memory. The present study investigated the effects of intra-amygdaloid injections of the cholinergic antagonist scopolamine on working and reference memory in the double Y-maze. Rats were pretrained until working and reference memory choice...
