Effect of scopolamine-based amnesia on the number of astrocytes in the rat's hippocampus [PDF]
, 2012 As neuron-astrocyte interactions play a crucial role in the adult brain, it is thought that astrocytes support learning and memory through specific mechanisms.

Inhibition of Connexin43 hemichannels impairs spatial short-term memory without affecting spatial working memory [PDF]
, 2016 Astrocytes are active players in higher brain function as they can release gliotransmitters, which are essential for synaptic plasticity. Various mechanisms have been proposed for gliotransmission, including vesicular mechanisms as well as non-vesicular ...

Surfactant protein D contributes to ocular defense against Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a murine model of dry eye disease. [PDF]
, 2013 Dry eye disease can cause ocular surface inflammation that disrupts the corneal epithelial barrier. While dry eye patients are known to have an increased risk of corneal infection, it is not known whether there is a direct causal relationship between ...

The influence of scopolamine on motor control and attentional processes [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Background: Motion sickness may be caused by a sensory conflict between the visual and the vestibular systems. Scopolamine, known to be the most effective therapy to control the vegetative symptoms of motion sickness, acts on the vestibular nucleus and ...

Striatal cholinergic interneurons generate beta and gamma oscillations in the corticostriatal circuit and produce motor deficits [PDF]
, 2016 Cortico-basal ganglia-thalamic (CBT) neural circuits are critical modulators of cognitive and motor function. When compromised, these circuits contribute to neurological and psychiatric disorders, such as Parkinson's disease (PD).

Scopolamine administration modulates muscarinic, nicotinic and NMDA receptor systems.
PLoS ONE, 2012 Studies on the effect of scopolamine on memory are abundant but so far only regulation of the muscarinic receptor (M1) has been reported. We hypothesized that levels of other cholinergic brain receptors as the nicotinic receptors and the N-methyl-D ...

Effect of Nigella sativa and wheat germ oils on scopolamine-induced memory impairment in rats
Bulletin of Faculty of Pharmacy Cairo University, 2012 Aim: To investigate the possible memory enhancing effects of Nigella sativa oil (NSO) and wheat germ oil (WGO) on scopolamine-induced amnesic rats. Methods: Male Wistar rats received either saline or scopolamine (16 mg/kg, i.p.).
