Developmental Exposure to Perchlorate Alters Synaptic Transmission in Hippocampus of the Adult Rat
BACKGROUND Perchlorate is an environmental contaminant that blocks iodine uptake into the thyroid gland and reduces thyroid hormones. This action of perchlorate raises significant concern over its effects on brain development. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate neurologic function in rats after developmental exposure to perchlorate. METHODS Pregnant rats were exposed to 0,...
متن کاملDevelopmental effect of light deprivation on synaptic plasticity of rats' hippocampus: implications for melatonin
Objective(s): There are few reports have demonstrated the effect of a change-in-light experience on the structure and function of hippocampus. A change-in-light experience also affects the circadian pattern of melatonin secretion. This study aimed to investigate developmental effect of exogenous melatonin on synaptic plasticity of hippocampus of light deprived rats. Materials and Methods: The ...
متن کاملGABA-mediated membrane oscillations as coincidence detectors for enhancing synaptic efficacy in the developing hippocampus
Spontaneously occurring neuronal oscillations constitute a hallmark of developmental networks. They have been observed in the retina, neocortex, hippocampus, thalamus and spinal cord. In the immature hippocampus the so-called ‘giant depolarizing potentials’ (GDPs) are network-driven membrane oscillations characterized by recurrent membrane depolarization with superimposed fast action potentials...
متن کاملLavandula angustifolia extract improves deteriorated synaptic plasticity in an animal model of Alzheimer’s disease
Objective(s):Neurodegenerative Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is associated with profound deficits in synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity. Long-term potentiation (LTP), an experimental form of synaptic plasticity, is intensively examined in hippocampus. In this study we evaluated the effect of aqueous extract of lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) on induction of LTP in the CA1 area of hippoc...
