Previous studies have shown that ascorbic acid (AA) plays a crucial role in mammalian brain as avitamin and neuronal modulator. There is increasing evidence indicating that dopaminergic system and AAcould affect learning and memory processes. In addition, vitamin C acts as a dopamine antagonist in thebrain. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the intra-hippocampal co-administration of ...

There are several conflicting evidences showing the effect of morphine on learning and memory processes. In the present study the effect of chronic morphine administration on passive avoidance, active avoidance and spatial learning and memory of morphine dependent male rats using Passive Avoidance shuttle box and Morris Water Maze tasks were investigated, respectively. Male rats received morphi...

Introduction: The Widespread range of mobile phone application in life has induced many problems in the societies. This subject has caused jammer router is used in some places. Jammer router blocks signal transfer from base station to the cell phone. In the other hand, the extensive application of electromagnetic field in all aspect of life has increased fears and worries about...

Prefrontal cortex (PFC) is involved in multiple functions including attentional , spatial orientation, short and long-term memory. Our previous study indicated that microinjection of testosterone in CA1 impaired spatial learning and memory. Some evidence suggests that impairment effect of testosterone is mediated by GABAergic system. In the present study, we investigated the interaction of test...

sporadic alzheimer’s disease (sad) is affected by genetic risk factors, aging and oxidative stresses. the herbal extract of r. canina, t. vulgare and u. dioica has a beneficial role in aging, as an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative agent. we investigate the neuroprotective effects of this herbal extract in the rat model of sad.  the rats were divided into control, sham, model, herbal extract...

abstract alzheimer’s disease (ad) is the most common form of dementia has become one of the most severe progressive socio-economical and medical burdens facing countries all over the world. the drugs are currently available just able to delay the symptom progression of disease. this study try to evaluate protein profile of the effects of aqueous extract of lavender ( lavandula angustifolia ) on...
