Addiction is a major problem of society. The existing evidences have shown that parental addiction impairs CNS development, learning, and memory. With respect to the role of glutamate in dentate gyrus on learning and memory, in this study, the effect of parental addiction to morphine on extracellular glutamate concentration in dentate gyrus was evaluated. For this purpose, male and female rats ...

objective(s) it is well known that prenatal stresses (ps) induce a variety of neurobiological and behavioral alterations, some of them involving the hippocampal formation. this study aimed to determine whether restraint stress influences the neuronal volume and number of granule cells in the hippocampus of adult rat offspring. materials and methods ten wistar pregnant rats were randomly divided...

introduction: previous studies have been shown that low frequency stimulation (lfs) has an inhibitory effect on kindling acquisition. however, the mechanism of this effect has not been completely determined. in the present study, the effect of lfs of the perforant path on seizures induced by rapid perforant path kindling was investigated. methods: animals were kindled by electrical stimulation ...

background: the present study evaluated the effects of treadmill running on extracellular basal levels of glutamate and gaba at dentate gyrus of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. methods: after 12 weeks of diabetes induction and exercise period, extracellular levels of glutamate and gaba were investigated. results: the results showed that glutamate levels were significantly decreased in dia...

The dentate gyrus of hippocampus has long been considered as a focal point for studies on mechanisms responsible for the development of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Change in intrinsic properties of dentate gyrus granule cells (GCs) has been considered as an important factor responsible in temporal lobe seizures. In this study, we evaluated the intrinsic properties of GCs, during acute phase o...

conclusions the results of the present study indicate that coenzyme q10 diminished neuronal necrosis and improved learning memory. part of its beneficial effect is due to its potential to discount oxidative stress. results this study revealed that the body weight scale was found to be significantly higher in the coq10 group (21.39 ± 2.70), compared to the tmt group (19.39 ± 2.74) (p < 0.05). in...

objective: the hippocampal formation, particularly the dentate gyrus (dg), shows age-related morphological changes that could cause memory decline. it is indicated that boswellia resins attenuates memory deficits and the major component of boswellia serrata (bs) gum resin, beta boswellic acid increased neurite outgrowth and branching in hippocampal neurons. this study was designed to investigat...

The dentate gyrus is a simple cortical region that is an integral portion of the larger functional brain system called the hippocampal formation. In this review, the fundamental neuroanatomical organization of the dentate gyrus is described, including principal cell types and their connectivity, and a summary of the major extrinsic inputs of the dentate gyrus is provided. Together, this informa...
