Effect of implantation of carbachol pellet near the suprachiasmatic nucleus on the free-running period of rat locomotor activity rhythm.
نویسندگان
چکیده
To clarify the effect of a cholinergic agent on free-running period of circadian rhythm, locomotor activities were continuously recorded in the rat implanted with a paraffin pellet mixed with or without carbachol near the suprachiasmatic nucleus. Implantation of carbachol, but not paraffin alone, resulted in shortening of the free-running period under constant darkness.

Background: Ascorbic acid (AA) as a vitamin and neuromodulator is present in the most part of CNS such as nucleus accumbens shell (Acbsh), so the main purpose of this investigation was to evaluated the effect of AA and their Co-administration in Acbsh on anxiety and motor activity of rat by Open Field Test(OFT). Methods: Forty nine adult male Wistar rats (220-270 g) were used into 7 grou...
متن کاملEffect of an Antagonist of Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide on Biological Rhythm of Rest Activity in the Rat
Abstract Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide (VIP), has been found in different neurotransmitter systems and exists in various nerve tracts in the brain. Potential role of this peptide in physiological processes such as regulation of sleep and wakefulness, and biological rhythms has been confirmed in several reports. In the present research effects of intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of a...

Biochemical, neural, endocrine and behavioral rhythms play a central role in many different aspects of the reproductive process in animals. These rhythms provide the basis for temporal organization of the reproductive functions of individual animals. In this paper, I introduce our results about the relationship of biological clock to reproductive function, analysis of mechanisms in biological c...
متن کاملSCN lesions abolish ultradian and circadian components of activity rhythms in LEW/Ztm rats.
A trimodal locomotor activity pattern has been observed in LEW/Ztm rats. Complete and partial lesions of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) were used to determine whether the same neural substrate may underlie the circadian rhythms and the ultradian modulation of wheel-running activity in these rats. Whereas sham lesions had little or no effect on the wheel-running activity pattern, complete SCN...
متن کاملEntrainment of methamphetamine-induced locomotor activity rhythm to feeding cycles in SCN-lesioned rats.
Suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN)-lesioned rats, showing a locomotor activity rhythm with a circadian period by chronic methamphetamine treatment, were subjected to the periodic food restriction (RF) of 4 h per every 27 h and 24 h. All rats were phase set by the feeding schedule of both 24-h and 27-h periods. Phase angle differences between the activity onset and food presentation were more positive...
