On the linear track, the recent firing sequences of CA1 place cells recur during sharp wave/ripple patterns (SWRs) in a reverse temporal order [Foster & Wilson (2006) Nature, 440, 680-683]. We have found similar reverse-order reactivation during SWRs in open-field exploration where the firing sequence of cells varied before each SWR. Both the onset times and the firing patterns of cells showed ...

The aim of this study was to compare the effects two different doses ambroxol (AMB) co-administered with azithromycin (AZIT) on concentrations bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) cytokines and serum biochemical parameters in an lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury mouse model. A total 78 male Swiss albino mice were used for investigation. After six had been separated as control gr...

The activities of two enzymes viz: Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase and succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) in brain and liver of alloxan diabetic Swiss albino mice are reported. Alloxan diabetes caused significant decrease in the activity of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase reflecting reduced glucose transport across the cell membrane. On the contrary, the observed enhanced activity of the enzyme SDH is attributed to increased su...

The analgesic activity of the methanol extract of Phyllanthus lawii (MEPL) was investigated in Swiss albino mice with hot plate and acetic acid induced writhing models. The results suggested that MEPL possess potent analgesic activity. The MEPL produced a significant decrease in mice writhing induced by acetic acid suggesting peripheral analgesic activity and elevated mean basal reaction time i...
