Introduction: Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder in which patients experience spontaneous recurrent seizures and deficiency in learning and memory. Although the most commonly recommended therapy is drug treatment, some patients do not achieve adequate control of their seizures on existing drugs. New medications with novel mechanisms of action are needed to help those patients whose sei...

Respiration contributes importantly to short-term modulation of sympathetic nerve activity. However, the relationship between spontaneous breathing rate, chemoreflex function, and direct measures of sympathetic traffic in healthy humans has not been studied previously. We tested the hypothesis that muscle sympathetic nerve activity and chemoreflex sensitivity are linked independently to respira...

Andropogon muricatus Nash., has been used in the traditional medicine as an antispasmodic and in palpitation and this study was aimed to provide scientific basis for its use in gastrointestinal and cardiovascular disorders. Apporaximatly 2 cm long segments of rabbit jejunum and 2-3 mm wide aortic rings and strips of guinea-pig atria were incubated in normal Tyrod’s and Krab’s solutions at 37°C ...

Climbing fiber (CF) afferents modulate the frequency and patterns of cerebellar Purkinje cell (PC) simple spike (SS) activity, but its mechanism is unclear. In the present study, we investigated the mechanisms of spontaneous CF discharge-evoked pauses and the output modulation of cerebellar PCs in urethane-anesthetized mice using in vivo whole-cell recording techniques and pharmacological metho...

Introduction:Exercise and physical activity are important factors for human health.It has been reported that exercise can be considerably useful in the teratment of psychological diseases.in the present study the effect of running on Spontaneous Electroencephalographic Activity (EEG) of rats was investigated.   Method:Male wistar rats weighting 190-250 gr were selected and divided into contro...
