Time-dependent changes in cortisol and tympanic temperature lateralization duri...
Pereira, Lucas Cardoso; Maior, Rafael Plakoudi Souto; Barros, MaríliaTemporal information about food availability can be easily entrained, as in the case of fixed feeding routines of captive animals. A sudden unintentional or deliberate delay (e.g., food deprivation—FD) leads to frustration and psychological stress due to the loss of temporal predictability. How marmosets—an increasingly used small primate—process and respond to FD stress has not been previously assessed. Here w...
Cannabidiol affects MK-801-induced changes in the PPI Learned Response of Capuc...
Saletti, Patrícia Grandizoli; Maior, Rafael Plakoudi Souto; Barros, Marília; Nishijo, Hisao; Tomaz, Carlos Alberto BezerraThere are several lines of evidence indicating a possible therapeutic action of cannabidiol (CBD) in schizophrenia treatment. Studies with rodents have demonstrated that CBD reverses MK-801 effects in prepulse inhibition (PPI) disruption, which may indicate that CBD acts by improving sensorimotor gating deficits. In the present study, we investigated the effects of CBD on a PPI learned response of capuchin monk...
Scopolamine induces deficits in spontaneous object-location recognition and fea...
Melamed, Jonathan Lobo; Jesus, Fernando M. de; Maior, Rafael Plakoudi Souto; Barros, MaríliaThe non-selective muscarinic receptor antagonist scopolamine (SCP) induces memory deficits in both animals and humans. However, few studies have assessed the effects of amnesic agents on memory functions of marmosets – a small-bodied neotropical primate that is becoming increasingly used as a translational model for several neuropathologies. Here we assessed the effects of an acute SCP administration (0.03 mg/k...
Occurrence and distribution of Fresh-Water molluscs in the Riacho Fundo creek b...
Barros, MaríliaABSTRACT; To study the distribution of molluscs in the Riacho Fundo Creek (cerrado region of central Brazil), five creek sites were sampled once every two months for one year. Molluscs were sampled using standardized kick-net sampling. Four species of molluscs were found : Physella cubensis, Melanoides tuberculata, Biomphalaria straminea and Pisidium sp. The most abundant were P. cubensis and Pisidium sp. P. cu...
