First evidence of fine colour discrimination ability in ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae)
... Training and tests were performed in darkness to eliminate the use of possible visual cues. This also made the ants positively phototactic. Because ants are known to obtain directional information from magnetic field ...

Effect of propofol on local field potential in rat prefrontal cortex during working memory task
... After 12 hours, all the propofol group rats have recov- ered from anesthesia and moved as freely as the control ones. Two group rats were placed into the Y-maze to do the working memory test one by one. The ...

The Effect of Alpha-Lipoic Acid on Learning and Memory Deficit in a Rat Model of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
... This test was conducted 2 days after Y-maze and was done according to a previous study (Baluchnejadmo- jarad, & Roghani, 2006). The apparatus (40 cm long - 20 cm wide - 30 cm high) consisted of an ...

Suggested Two Hypotheses on Dementia (“Anticholinergic Hypothesis” and “Cranial Skeletal Muscles Hypothesis”) and the Therapeutic Agent
... The purpose of this experiment was to determine how much of the anticholi- nergic metabolite that causes dementia is accumulated in the mouse body, and to identify and determine the therapeutic agent based on the ...

Original Article Effects of exercise of equal intensity on working memory and BDNF protein expression in the prefrontal cortex in rats with different degrees of sleep deprivation
... The corrective response rate and time duration of electric shock were measured, in a Y-maze apparatus using 36 V working potential and 0.7 mA current. One single training session includes 10 trials, with 15 ...

Innate turning preference of leaf cutting ants in the absence of external orientation cues
... From our experiments, we can conclude that A. lundii do use visual cues as a fall-back option when other cues are absent. Leaf-cutting ants probably have poor vision and it is unclear the extent to which they rely on ...
