AlkB homolog 1 (ALKBH1) is responsible for the biogenesis of 5-formylcytidine (f5C) on mitochondrial tRNAMet and essential protein synthesis. The brain, especially hippocampus, highly susceptible to dysfunction; hence, maintenance activity strongly required prevent disorders associated with hippocampal malfunction. To study role ALKBH1 in we generated dorsal telencephalon-specific Alkbh1 condit...

background: it is well known that the hippocampus, the ca1 pyramidal cells in particular, is selectively vulnerable during global cerebral ischemia. recently, it is observed that pentoxifylline has a neuroprotective effect. this study explored the pharmacological relationship between ischemia-induced cell death of the hippocampus and the efficacy of a vasodilator agent (pentoxifylline) in the p...

objective the hippocampal circuit integrity is crucial for learning and memory. despite the existing reports on hippocampal–dependent memory impairment due to noise stress, there are only a few studies on the effect of noise stress on anatomical structure of hippocampus. the present study is aimed to investigate the likely effects of chronic noise exposure on the volume of rat hippocampus. mate...

epilepsy is one of the common disorders in human community. clinical observations have shown that epileptic patients have often difficulty in learning and memory. kindling is a laboratory model for studying epilepsy and its complications. this experiment was designed to study the effect of chemical kindling on schaffer collateral-ca1 pyramidal cell synaptic transmission using pentylenetetrazole...

background: multiple sclerosis (ms) is a disease of the immune system that creates damage of learning and memory in that. using probiotic supplements is recommended for preventing ms disease and improving memory. this study aimed to investigate the effect of lactobacillus plantarum (lp) and bifidobacterium b94 (bb94), on acquisition phase of spatial memory in the local demyelination of rats` hi...

colchicine, a potent neurotoxin derived from plants, has been recently introduced as a degenerative toxin of small pyramidal cells in the cortical area 1 of the hippocampus (ca1). in this study, the effect of the alkaloid in ca1 on the behaviors in the conditioning task was measured. injections of colchicine (1,5 μg/rat, intra-ca1) was performed in the male wistar rats, while the animals were s...

Background: Cerebral ischemia/ reperfusion leads to programmed cell death or planned apoptosis. Hippocampus is a very sensitive tissue cerebral ischemia. Propofol an anesthesia that recently the use of this drug as neuroprotective has been considered. In study, effect propofol on CA2 and CA3 areas hippocampus following ischemia was investigated.

abstractintroduction: previous investigations have shown that protein malnutrition can alters the structure and function of some areas of hippocampal formation. we investigated the effect of protein malnutrition on amygdaloid projections to the ca1 hippocampal area. in this study we investigated level and pattern of distribution of efferent projections from amygdala to hippocampus in the rat by...

conclusions these results suggest a negative correlation between mdma administration and adult hippocampal neurogenesis. results our results showed that mdma administration caused a decrease in neun expression in the experimental group compared with the control group. objectives due to the effect of neurogenesis on memory and learning, in this study, we investigated the effects of mdma on neun ...

background ecstasy or 3-4, methylenedioxymethamphetamine (mdma), as an amphetamine derivate, could lead to learning and memory impairment. objectives as the hippocampus is responsible for learning and memory, herein we evaluated acute and chronic effects of mdma on the structure of the hippocampus. materials and methods male wistar rats (200-250 g) received single or multiple injections of mdma...
