Background Insulin-like Growth Factor I (IGF-I) is a peptide involved in many processes the brain. Recently, we described how IGF-I modulates sleep behavior, response to stress, and its role cognition through cholinergic, orexinergic, locus coeruleus nuclei. Nonetheless, modulation of social behavior remains explored, especially during aging Alzheimer’s disease pathology. This study aims determ...

background: this study was planned to examine the effects of whole-body exposure to gsm-950 mhz electromagnetic fields (emfs) on acquisition and consolidation of spatial memory in rats using a water maze task. materials and methods: in experiment 1, the animals were given two blocks of five trials per day for three consecutive days in a water maze task. the interval between blocks was 4h. befor...

Background and Objective: Crassocephalum bauchiense Hutch is a species of flowering plant from the Asteraceae family. It’s used in traditional medicine for treatment brain disorders including epilepsy, depression anxiety. This study evaluated anxiolytic effects aqueous extract its possible mechanism action. Materials Methods: The (25, 50, 100 200 mg/kg) were administered orally to mice one hour...

This study illustrates some practical steps lecturers could use to enable students apply the chi-square concept. The relied on a definition and theorem based theoretical model. participants consisted of seventy (70) (fifty-five (55) males fifteen (15) females) level 100 mathematics from university in Ghana. They were all admitted public senior high schools across country. completed tasks assign...

Several maze shapes are used to test spatial navigation performance and behavioral phenotypes. Traditionally, each experiment requires a unique shape, thus requiring several separate mazes in different configurations. The geometry cannot be reconfigured single environment accommodate scalability reproducibility. reconfigurable is approach address the limitations, allowing quick flexible configu...

Objective: Computerized training for cognitive enhancement is of great public interest, however, there is inconsistent evidence for the transfer of training gains to every day activity. Several large trials have focused on speed of processing (SOP) training with some promising findings for long-term effects on daily activity, but no immediate transfer to other cognitive tests. Here, we examine ...
