Prenatal Mercuric Chloride Exposure Causes Developmental Deficits in Rat Cortex
Introduction: Environmental pollution with heavy metals such as mercury is a major health problem. Growing studies on the field have shown the deleterious effects of mercury on human and nonhuman nervous system, especially in infants, however the effects of prenatal exposure to mercuricchloride on cortical development are not yet well understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the eff...
متن کاملPrenatal zinc supplementation ameliorates hippocampal astrocytes activation and inflammatory cytokines expression induced by lipopolysaccharide in a rat model of maternal immune activation
Objective: There is evidence that gestational exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) results in fetal zinc deficiency, and eventually neurodevelopmental abnormalities. In this study, we utilized a rat model of maternal immune activation (MIA) to investigate the possible neuroprotective effect of zinc supplementation throughout pregnancy on hippocampal astrocytes activation as well as inflammatory...

متن کاملThe lithium effect on learning and memory deficits and hippocampal level of BDNF in prenatal seizure kindled rats
Background & Objective: Prenatal seizures cause neuronal damage in the limbic area of fetal brain leading to learning deficits and cognitive impairment in newborns. This study examined the effect of prenatal tonic-clonic seizure and lithium chloride (LiCl) therapy on the learning and memory of rat’s pups. Materials & Methods: Pregnant Wistar rats were kindled by (i.p) injections of 40 mg/kg/BW ...
متن کاملSelective activation of microglia facilitates synaptic strength.
Synaptic plasticity is thought to be initiated by neurons only, with the prevailing view assigning glial cells mere specify supportive functions for synaptic transmission and plasticity. We now demonstrate that glial cells can control synaptic strength independent of neuronal activity. Here we show that selective activation of microglia in the rat is sufficient to rapidly facilitate synaptic st...
