background: cyclooxygenase (cox) enzyme known as a regulatory factor in synaptic plasticity. it has been reported that synaptic plasticity is one of the mechanisms involved in learning and memory processes. in the current study peripheral injection's effects of sodium salicylate (as a non selective cox inhibitor) on spatial learning and memory have been investigated. methods: four groups of mal...

Introduction: It has been reported that acute administration of morphine impairs learning and memory processes in rats. Furthermore, recent studies showed that Saffron extract improved ethanol-induced impairments of learning behaviors in mice, and also prevented ethanol-induced inhibition of hippocampal long-term potentiation. It can be postulated that there are some common mechanisms respon...

aim and background: it has been shown in several studies that, students with mathematics learning disabilities have memory problems. this research compares memory profile of students with and without mathematics learning disabilities. methods and materials: the design of research was cross-sectional with causal-comparative method. the statistical population were 3 rd grade student boys in isfah...

introduction: exposure to 3, 4- methylenedioxymethamphetamine (mdma) could lead to serotonergic system toxicity in the brain. this system is responsible for learning and memory functions. studies show that mdma causes memory impairment dose-dependently and acutely. the present study was designed to evaluate the chronic and acute effects of mdmd on spatial memory and acquisition of passive avoid...

visual memory is an important cognitive ability, which has been studied in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (asds). in such studies meaningful shapes were used more frequently. since meaningless shapes provide a better assessment of short term visual memory, in this study we used them to evaluate visual memory in children and adolescents with asds compared to the normal group.four vis...
