Recent studies have shown that intracerebroventricular administration of cimetidine (CIM) induces anti-nociceptive and anti–inflammatory effects in rats. However, the underlying mechanism of CIM effect has not been determined ...

This study was performed following favorable results from a previous research, which studied the response of acute vestibular patients to the rotatory maneuver, to investigate the effects of the rotatory maneuver on chronic ...

Drug addiction is a destructive misfortune that leads to recession in all social fields. For this reason, proper treatment of addiction should be seriously considered. Formerly, the effectiveness of TENS and ICWS methods ...

The role of raphe nucleus (R.N) and serotonin in some behaviors such as sleep, cognition, mood, and memory has previously been reported. The median raphe (MR) nucleus is a major serotonin-containing cell group within the ...

The desert hedgehog (Dhh) signaling pathway is involved in the development of peripheral nerves (PNs). Dhh-null mice show abnormal neuronal development and perineurial barrier function. As it was previously shown that dhh ...

During a critical period of postnatal age sensory experience has a profound effect on maturation of visual cortical wiring. Electrophysiological evidence is indicating a substantial effect of visual deprivation on the ...

The role of glutamate receptors within the nucleus accumbens in morphine tolerance has been postulated. Previous studies have reported that glutamate receptors exert their effects in part through the release of nitric oxide ...

Although it is a well-established fact that dietary fish oil can improve nerve conduction velocity in diabetic rat, but the exact mechanism of its action is unknown. Therefore, in this study we measured the blood glucose ...

Schizophrenia is a devastating psychiatric disorder that affects 1% of population worldwide. Neuroleptics are the major class of drugs used in the treatment of schizophrenia. Neuroleptics are associated with wide variety ...

Cell damage induced by free radicals has been implicated as causal factor in a wide variety of human diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders. Scientific recognition of natural antioxidants may be helpful in ...

According to some studies, the number of addicted females in reproductive ages has been increased. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of oral morphine consumption on the development of CNS and body ...

Artificial neural networks are intelligent systems that have successfully been used for prediction in different medical fields. In this study, the efficiency of a neural network for predicting the survival of patients with ...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that does not develop spontaneously in some animal species. PD can be induced experimentally in some laboratory animals including mouse, rat and horse. Globus pallidus ...

In this study, IP administration of acetaminophen and its half-life were investigated. Acetaminophen as an analgesic drug ordinarily is used in tablets or syrup form. Therefore, there is no report about administration of ...

Recent neuroanatomical and behavioral evidence has indicated that vasopressin (VA) increases pain threshold. The dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) is an important nucleus in pain modulation. Anatomical studies have shown that DRN ...

In depth cue-conflict conditions, various depth cues could represent different extents of depth. Previous studies have investigated the perceived size of negative afterimage in depth cue-correlated conditions in which ...

Glial cells form a network in the central nervous system to support neurons and interact with them. The glia consist essentially of astrocytes that help with the nutrition of neurons and react in some cases of injury, ...

Introducing RCTM (Research-Centered Teaching Method) by the author showed the method provokes enthusiasm and anxiety, correlated with cognition: Cognition = (0.27) enthusiasm– (0.15) not interested + (0.08) anxiety. “The ...

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are intelligent systems that have successfully been used for prediction in different medical fields. In this study, the capability of ANN in predicting body behavior in pain-producing ...

Previous studies indicated that stress and glucocorticoids have modulatory effects on acute pain. The aim of present study was to determine the interaction between stress and glucocorticoids with activation of voltage ...
