To investigate the behavioral consequences of benzodiazepines in subjects whose septo-hippocampal cholinergic (ACh) activity was impaired, C57BL/6 mice received an injection of 2.5 microg/0.2 microl of scopolamine into the medial septal area with an i.p. injection of 0.5 mg/kg of diazepam. The
In nonhuman primates, anxiety levels are typically assessed by observing social hierarchies or behavior in an intruder task. As measures of anxiety might influence performance on a particular cognitive task, it is important to analyze these measures in the same room as used for the cognitive task.
We investigated the effects of zerumbone (1 and 10 mg/kg) against hyperactivity, anxiety and memory impairment in scopolamine-induced dementia in Sprague-Dawley rats.Open field tests, elevated plus maze and Morris water maze were performed to assess general Hippocampal cholinergic projections mediate attention to arousing stimuli as demonstrated by behavioral, electrophysiological, and endocrine studies. We recently reported that peripheral injections of the cholinergic antagonist scopolamine (SCOP) increased anxiety-like behaviour (ALB) in rats and we
Anthriscus nemorosa (Bieb.) Sprengel is used for medicinal purposes in traditional medicine around the world, including Turkey. Ethnobotanical studies suggest that Anthriscus essential oil could improve memory in Alzheimer's disease. The current study was hypothesized to investigate the beneficial
Clinical trials have revealed that the muscarinic receptor antagonist scopolamine produces a fast and potent antidepressant response. However, the anticholinergic adverse effects and the risk of psychosis at higher doses limit the widespread clinical use of scopolamine. Combination therapy of
In the present study, we identified the effects of inhaled Pimpinella peregrina essential oil (1 and 3 %, for 21 continuous days) on scopolamine-induced memory impairment, anxiety, and depression in laboratory rats. Y-maze and radial arm-maze tests were used for assessing memory processes. Also, the
Several lines of evidence suggest that muscarinic cholinergic receptors may play a role in fear/anxiety reactions in animals. In the present study, the behavioural effects of the muscarinic receptor antagonist scopolamine (0.125-1.0mg/kg) were examined in male mice exposed to the elevated plus-maze.
Severe motion sickness is a huge obstacle for people conducting precise aviation, marine or emergency service tasks. The combination of scopolamine and d-amphetamine is most effective in preventing severe motion sickness. However, this combination is not included in any present pharmacopoeia due to
Parenteral scopolamine lost its significance for premedication because of severe side effects, at least in German speaking countries. The drug is now available as a transdermal therapeutic system (TTS-Scopolamine) which provides constant low plasma concentrations for three days, high enough to act
Cholinergic neurotransmission plays a key role in learning and memory. Prior research with rats indicated that a low dose of pre-training scopolamine (0.1 mg/kg), a cholinergic receptor antagonist, did not affect cued fear conditioning, but did block renewal when injected before extinguishing a
Some antidepressant agents generate differential benefit based on gender. Blocking cholinergic muscarinic receptors using scopolamine produces robust and rapid antidepressant effects in males and females combined. This study evaluated if males and females differ in the antidepressant response
The effects on memory, psychomotor functions and mood of intramuscular scopolamine (0.3 mg, 0.6 mg) were compared with those of oral lorazepam (2 mg) and placebo. Thirty-six volunteers took part in a double-blind, independent groups design. Subjects completed a battery of tests 1 and 3 h after drug

This randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover trial examined the antidepressant efficacy of the muscarinic antagonist scopolamine in major depressive disorder subjects with more severe and refractory forms of major depressive disorder relative to previous reports.
