RILUZOLE DOES NOT AFFECT HIPPOCAMPAL SYNAPTIC PLASTICITY AND SPATIAL MEMORY, WHICH ARE IMPAIRED BY DIAZEPAM IN RATS

Riluzole Does Not Affect Hippocampal Synaptic Plasticity and Spatial Memory, Which Are Impaired by Diazepam in Rats

We have previously demonstrated that riluzole here has anxiolytic-like effects in rats, without affecting spontaneous alternation performance in the Y-maze test.However, the effects of riluzole on hippocampal synaptic plasticity were still unclear.In this study, we showed that bath application of riluzole did not impair long-term potentiation and l

Being an economic-civic competent citizen: A technology-based assessment of commercial apprentices in Germany and Switzerland

Abstract Background Citizens in modern democratic societies are confronted with complex demands, challenges, and economic problems, and they typically act as consumers, savers, voters, and employees.It is highly desirable for citizens to be able to competently manage these various demands.This ability we call economic-civic competence.Given the lac

The effect of spatial position and age within an egg-clutch on embryonic development and key metabolic enzymes in two clownfish species, Amphiprion ocellaris and Amphiprion frenatus.

Since the size of newly hatched larval fish is directly related to egg size, small differences in initial egg size can be critical to survival and further development of offspring.Underlying processes causing size variation in fish offspring are still not entirely understood.In this study we investigated whether the spatial position of an individua
