effect of otostegia persica on naloxone-induced morphine withdrawal syndrome was studied in male mice. dependence was induced using daily subcutaneous injections of morphine for three days. morphine was injected to mice at doses of 30 and 45mg/kg on day 1 and 60 and 90mg/kg on day 2 (8:00 am and 6:00 pm). on day 3, morphine (90mg/kg) was injected 1h before oral administration and 1.5h before in...

in this paper, we propose a new approach for ranking all fuzzynumbers based on revising the ranking method proposed by ezzati et al. cite{ezzati}.to this end, we present and investigate some properties of the proposed approach indetails. finally, to illustrate the advantage of the proposed method, it is applied to several groups of fuzzy numbers and the results are compared with other related a...

this paper presents the effect of high environmental heat on behavior of the male charles foster rats. eighty rats were divided into three groups, subjected to (i) acute heat stress (ii) chronic heat stress and (iii) handling control group. animals were exposed to the hot environment in a biological oxygen demand incubator at 38 ± 1ºc (relative humidity 45-50%) for four hours of continuous sing...

abstract different responses of silkworm larvae under various rearing climate condition would help to obtain better economic performance of some silkworm varities in specific climate conditions. the effect of 4 rearing climate conditions including 1) standard 2) high temperature and humidity, 3) high temperature and low humidity and 4) temperature fluctuation were investigated on the performanc...

A rearing system based on a diet gelled with Water-Lock G-400, a synthetic superabsorbent (poly(2-propenamide-co-2-propenoic acid, sodium salt)) (WL), was compared with the standard rearing system (liquid diet suspended in acetate fibers) for the mass production of screwworms, Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel). The WL rearing system yielded 2% heavier pupae, 32% higher egg to pupa survival, an...

background: nicotine can activate dopaminergic neurons within the ventral tegmental area (vta). however, there is no evidence about complete inhibition of vta on nicotine reinforcement. methods: in the present study, we used conditioned-place preference (cpp) method to study the effect of transient inhibition of left and/or right side of the vta by lidocaine on nicotine reward properties. male ...

From 45 to 55 days after birth, male and female rats were treated via daily intraperitoneal injections with either isotonic saline, or 15 or 30 mg/kg caffeine. When 72-82 and 112-122 days old, their activity and emotional reactivity were assessed by means of frequencies of rearing, ambulation, immobility, defecation and urination recorded in an open field, as well as their occupancy of corners ...

Neurons in the mammalian primary visual cortex (V1) respond to contours in the visual field, and, for most cells, response strength depends on contour orientation. This property, orientation selectivity, can develop without any visual input. However, orientation selectivity is plastic, and it can be modified by visual experience. In this thesis, I have investigated two types of functional plast...
