This study was performed to investigate the effect of ginseng saponin from Korean red ginseng on the learning and memory. Total (50, 100 mg/kg, bw) and panaxadiol saponin (15, 30 mg/kg, bw) treated groups did not show the difference of the time score and the number of error in comparison with control group. Panaxatriol saponin (15, 30 mg/kg, bw) significantly decreased both the time score and the number of error in water maze test. These results indicate that panaxatriol saponin from Korean red ginseng may improve the learning ability of rat in water multiple T-maze.

The aim of this study is to investigate whether alcohol alters learning and memory processes pertaining to emotional and spatial factors using the active avoidance and T-maze task in zebrafish. In the active avoidance task, zebrafish were trained to escape from one compartment to another to avoid electric shocks (unconditioned stimulus) following a conditioned light signal. Acquisition of active avoidance task appeared to be normal in zebrafish that were treated with 1% alcohol for 30 min for 17 days until the end of the behavioral test, and retention ability of learned behavior, tested 2 days later, was the same as control group. In the T-maze task, the time to find a reservoir was compared. While the latency was similar during the 1 st training session between control and alcohol-treated zebrafish, it was significantly longer in alcohol-treated zebrafish during retention test 24 h later. Furthermore, when alcohol was treated 30 min after 2nd session without prior treatment, zebrafish demonstrated similar retention ability compared to control. These results suggest that chronic alcohol treatment alters spatial learning of zebrafish, but not emotional learning.

This study was carried out to investigate effects of Kamiguibi-tang extract on learning ability of ethanol-treated rats. The rats were divided into 3 groups; normal, control and sample group. Control group administered ethanol at a dose of 3g/kg bw.(25 v/v %), while sample group administered the Kamiguibi-tang extract(200mg/kg) 30 min. before treating same dose of ethanol as control group orally. All groups were subjected to trials of straight channel on the 1 st day and to those of multiple T-maze during the following 3 days. The time required in normal group for the straight or T-maze of the 2nd and 3rd trials was significantly shorter than that of the 1 st, while the control group showed no significance. But in the straight channel or multiple T-maze trials, the sample group showed significant decrease in the time required against the control group and also showed significant decrease in the number of selecting errors.

The roots of the plant Korean ginseng have been extensively used in the traditional Chinese herbal medicine. The effects of chronic administration of Korean ginseng extract (KGE) were investigated on two different anxiety models: the elevated T-maze (for inhibitory avoidance and escape measurements) and the open field test (OFT). Diazepam (1 mg/kg), KGE (10, 30 and 100 mg/kg) were administered orally for 15 days. On the 14th day, mice were previously exposed for 30 min to one of the open arms of the T-maze, 24 h before the test. On 15th day, mice had two exposures to the enclosed and open arm of the elevated T-maze followed by exposure to the open field apparatus. The number of line crossings in the apparatus was used to assess locomotor changes. Cumulative Concentration Response Curve of 5-HT was plotted using rat fundus which were pre-treated in a similar way. Treatment with Diazepam (1 mg/kg) and KGE (10, 30 and 100 mg/kg) significantly (P < 0.05) impaired inhibitory avoidance performance but did not impair escape latency. In OFT, diazepam facilitated locomotion as compared to vehicle and other treatment groups. KGE at any of the selected doses did not impair locomotion. Concentration response curve of 5-HT was shifted towards the right with suppression of maxima in rats treated with KGE. The results suggest that KGE exerts anxiolytic like behaviour in a specific subset of defensive behaviour, particularly those related to generalized anxiety disorder.

이 논문에서는 여러 대의 로봇들이 협력하여 미로를 탈출하는 방법을 제안한다. 논문에서 사용된 교육용 로봇들은 ZigBee로 서로 통신할 수 있으나, 로봇들의 연산기능이 낮아 서로 협력하여 문제를 해결할 수 없다. 로봇의 모션제어로 통로를 직립 보행하도록 하였으며, 절대거리 센서를 이용하여 교차로와 막다른 골목을 인식하면 중앙제어 시스템에 전송하여 명령을 받는다. 여러 로봇들이 동시에 미로에 들어가서 효과적으로 미로를 탐색하도록 하는 미로 탐색 알고리즘을 수정하였다.

본 연구는 Sprague-Dawley 계통의 4주령 랫드에서 MSG의 반복경구투여 독성평가와 행동실험을 통해 어린랫드의 인지능력과 불안감에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해서 시행하였다. 시험군은 MSG 대신 distilled water를 투여한 대조군(Control, n = 4), MSG를 3 g/kg을 투여한 군(Low, n = 4), MSG를 5 g/kg을 투여한 군(High, n = 4)으로 나누어 4주 동안 주5회 경구투여를 하였다. MSG의 안정성을 확인하기 위해 다음과 같은 관찰 및 검사를 하였다. 검사항목으로는 체중의 변화, 임상증상, 행동실험인 T-maze, Elevated-plus-maze와 혈액학적 검사, 혈청생화학적 검사, 병리조직학적 검사를 관찰한 결과 모든 투여군 및 대조군에서 특이할 만한 임상증상과 체중변화는 관찰되지 않았으며, 폐사 및 빈사 동물은 시험 전 기간을 통하여 발견되지 않았다. 행동실험인 T-maze 결과 MSG 고용량 투여군에서 움직이는 횟수가 감소하다 증가하는 양상을 보였고, Elevated-plus-maze 실험에서는 MSG 고용량 투여군의 Open arm의 출입빈도가 증가하는 등 유의적인 변화가 나타났다. 혈액학적 검사 및 혈청생화학적 검사에서는 대조군과 비교 시 유의적인 변화가 관찰되었지만 그 수치가 정상범위 안에 포함되기 때문에 이상을 나타내지 않았다. 병리조직검사 또한 약간의 염증발생 소견이 나왔지만 정상범위 안에 포함되기 때문에 이상을 나타내지 않았다고 판단했다. 따라서, 어린랫드를 이용한 MSG의 반복투여 독성시험 결과 특이할만한 신체적인 변화는 나타나지 않았으나 고용량의 MSG 투여는 어린랫드에서 인지능력의 저하 및 행동의 불안을 유발할 가능성이 있다고 사료된다.

We investigated the effects of chronic administration of different extracts of ginger rhizome [pet ether extract (PE); toluene fraction (TF) of pet ether extract] on anxiety models: the elevated T-maze (ETM) (for inhibitory avoidance and escape measurements) and the open field test. Ondansetron (1 mg/kg), FE (10, 30 &100 mg/kg) and TF (10 & 30 mg/kg) were administered orally for 15 days. On the $14^{th}$ day mice were previously exposed for 30 min to one of the open arms of the T-maze, 24 h before the test. On $15^{th}$ day mice had two exposures to the enclosed and open arm of the ETM followed by exposure to the open field apparatus. The number of line crossings in the apparatus was used to assess locomotor changes. Cumulative Concentration Response Curve of 5-HT was plotted using rat fundus which were pretreated in a similar way. Treatment with Ondansetron (1 mg/kg), PE (100 mg/kg), TF (10 mg/kg) and TF (30 mg/kg) significantly (P<0.05) impaired inhibitory avoidance performance but did not impair escape latency. Concentration response curve of 5-HT was shifted towards the right with suppression of maxima in rats treated with PE and TF. The results suggest that PE and TF of Ginger rhizome exerts anxiolytic like behaviour in a specific subset of defensive behaviour, particularly those related to generalized anxiety disorder.

This study was carried out to investigate; the alpha-fetoprotein, urea and free fatty acid in amniotic fluids and water filled multiple T-maze test of fetuses affected by Ethylenethiourea. The S.P.F. Sprague-Dawley female rats(10 weeks) were used in this study and these animals were divided into four groups; control group I (10mg/kg/day), group II(30mg/kg/day), group III(50mg/kg/day). The results obtained were summarized as follows; 1. In the water filled multiple T-maze test of F1 male rats, The time and errors from start point to goal point of 30mg/kg group are significantly(p<0.001) increased from control group in 3rd day of test. In F1 female rats of 2nd day and 3rd day of water filled multiple T-maze test, The time and some errors in 30mg/kg group are significantly (p<0.05) increased from control group. 2. Alpha-fetoprotein values of all treated groups(10mg/kg, 30mg/kg and 50mg/kg) were significantly(p<0.001) decreased from control values in the amniotic fluids. 3. Urea values of ammniotic fluids in 50mg/kg group are significantly increased from control group. 4. Free fatty acid values of ammniotic fluids in 50mg/kg group are significantly increased from control group.

This study is intended to examine the tDCS and Morris Water maze training in Alzheimer's disease(AD) rats on Tau protein expression. Experiment groups were divided into four groups and assigned 16 rats to each group. Group I was a control group(AD induced by scopolamine); Group II was a experimental control group(AD injured by scopolamine and treatment tacrine); Group III was a group of tDCS application after AD injured by scopolamine; Group IV was a group of morris water maze training after AD injured by scopolamine. In cognition test, the outcome of group II was significantly lower than the groups(p<.001). and group III, IV were significantly low result at 14 days(p<.05). In histological finding, the experimental groups were destroy of micro vessels and finding of cell atropy and swelling. Group III, IV were decreased in degeneration of liver and kidney cells. In immuno- histochemistric response of BDNF and tau protein in hippocampus, BDNF expression of Group II was more increase than the other groups. and increase of BDNF expression was III, IV were higher than group I at 21 days. Tau protein expression of Group II was more decrease than the other groups. and decrease of Tau protein expression was III, IV were lower than group I at 21 days. These result suggest that improved tDCS and morris water maze training after scopolamine induced is associated with dynamically altered expression of BDNF and Tau protein in hippocampus and that is related with cognitive function.
