[ 1 ] - Effects of Ginkgo biloba extract on the structure of Cornu Ammonis in aged rat: A morphometric study

Objective(s):Growing evidence indicates that extract of Ginkgo biloba (EGb) attenuates hippocampal-dependent memory deficit in aged individuals; however, very little is known about the effect of EGb on the structure of hippocampus. Therefore we examined the EGb-induced morphological changes of the Cornu Ammonis (CA) region in aged rats. Materials and Methods: Sixteen aged male Wistar rats, 24 ...

[ 2 ] - The Effect of Prenatal Exposure to Restraint Stress on Hippocampal Granule Neurons of Adult Rat Offspring

Objective(s) It is well known that prenatal stresses (PS) induce a variety of neurobiological and behavioral alterations, some of them involving the hippocampal formation. This study aimed to determine whether restraint stress influences the neuronal volume and number of granule cells in the hippocampus of adult rat offspring. Materials and Methods Ten Wistar pregnant rats were randomly divi...

[ 3 ] - Exposure to Chronic Noise Reduces the Volume of Hippocampal Subregions in Rats

Objective The hippocampal circuit integrity is crucial for learning and memory. Despite the existing reports on hippocampal–dependent memory impairment due to noise stress, there are only a few studies on the effect of noise stress on anatomical structure of hippocampus. The present study is aimed to investigate the likely effects of chronic noise exposure on the volume of rat hippocampus. Mate...
