This study investigated whether application of acute restraint stress or dexamethasone, as a glucocorticoid receptor agonist, impaired retrieval of long-term memory and if pretreatment with opiate antagonist naloxone blocked their effects on memory retrieval. Young adult male rats were trained in one trial inhibitory avoidance task (1 mA, 1.5 s foot shock). On retention test given 48 hr after t...

the aim of the present study was to investigate whether and by which mechanism; histamine can induce state-dependent retrieval of passive avoidance task. the pre-training or pre-test intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of histamine (20µg/mouse) impaired retrieval, when it was tested 24 h later. in the animals, which retrieval was impaired due to histamine pre-training administration, pre...

conclusions it can be concluded that the devisable memory-enhancing effects of red lentil (lens culinaris) are due to the antioxidant activity of its flavonoid, tannins, and terpenoids. background since ancient times, people have believed that certain foods or plants can affect learning and memory potency in humans. the consumption of food and beverages rich in flavonoid compounds has been prop...

purpose previous studies have shown that physical activity improves learning and memory. present study was performed to determine the effects of short term and long term treadmill exercise on learning, memory consolidation and retrieval of passive avoidance learning in an animal model. methods in this study fifty male wistar rats with 3-4 months of age were randomly divided into five groups (n=...

gabapentin (gbp) is one of the new antiepileptic drugs (aeds) applied extensively in neurology and psychiatry. the advantage of new aeds includes newer mechanism of action, broad spectrum of anti-seizure effects, lesser drug interactions and fewer side effects. gbp is a cyclized analogue of gaba but it does not interact with gaba receptors, nor does it inhibit gaba uptake or prevent the degener...
