Evaluation of memory enhancement activity of rodents in spatial arrangement by using Labrynth maze
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharma Research and Health Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Spatial memory, according to neuroscience, is the part of memory responsible for recording one’s environment and its spatial orientation. Memory is one of the complex functions of the brain. It ultimately involves multiple neuronal pathways and neurotransmitters. Cognitive disorders like Alzheimer’s disease, amnesia, delirium, depression and schizophrenia are the results of impairments in learning and memory. All these diseases have a huge burden on society and their prevalence is still growing. Learning is a process of acquiring knowledge about the world and memory is its retrieval. Spatial memory is highly relevant in biology because it is related with both individual and species survival. Among behavioral tests, one of the most suitable devices for measuring spatial learning and memory is the Labrynth maze.
