In urethane anesthetized rats one hour after lowering the systolic blood pressure to 70-75 mmHg by withdrawing 3-4 ml of blood, Fos immunoreactivity (Fos-IR), confined to the cell nucleus, was detected bilaterally in numerous cells of the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) and ventrolateral medulla

Severe hemorrhage shock and resuscitation are a systemic ischemia-reperfusion phenomenon which can induce learning and memory deficit in human and rats. Sevoflurane postconditioning has been proved to offer neuroprotection under different setting of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats. The aim of

Perioperative nerve growth factor (NGF) levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with acoustic neurinoma (14 cases), tentorial meningioma (1 case), or subarachnoid hemorrhage (1 case) were examined. Preoperative NGF levels in CSF were below the level of detection in all patients. However, NGF

Previous studies have suggested that estrogen may have an effect on cognitive and emotional function in women. Studies in rodents and non-human primates have demonstrated the presence of estrogen receptors in brain, and that estrogen can affect behavior in animals. Estrogen administration to

Behavioural, histopathological and neurochemical changes induced by systemic injection of kainic acid (10 mg/kg, s.c.) were investigated in rats. The most pronounced behavioural changes were strong immobility ("catatonia"), increased incidence of "wet dog shakes", and long-lasting generalized

In this study the effect of the anti-inflammatory drugs indomethacin, ibuprofen, ebselen (PZ 51, 2-phenyl-1,2-benzoisoselenazol-3(2H)-one), and BW755C (3-amino-1-(m-(trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-2-pyrazoline) on kainic acid (KA)-induced behavioral and neurochemical changes in rats was investigated. Rats

Behavioural, neurochemical and histopathological changes induced by systemic injection of kainic acid were investigated at various doses of the neurotoxin (3, 6 and 10 mg/kg s.c.). There was a positive correlation between the dose of kainic acid and the extent of both the acute neurochemical changes
