The 5-HT1A receptor and recognition memory possible modulation of its behavioral effects by the nitrergic system
Pitsikas, N.; Tsitsirigou, S.; Zisopoulou, S.; Sakellaridis, N. (2005)Functional activation of the 5-HT1A receptor inhibits cognition, although discrepant findings have also been reported. The present study was designed to investigate the role of the 5-HT1A receptor on recognition memory in ... -
Effects of the active constituent of Crocus sativus L. crocin on recognition and spatial rats' memory
Pitsikas, N.; Zisopoulou, S.; Tarantilis, P. A.; Kanakis, C. D.; Polissiou, M. G.; Sakellaridis, N. (2007)Crocus Sativus L. is a plant cultivated in various parts of the world. Its involvement in learning and memory processes has been proposed. The present study was designed to investigate in the rat the effects of the active ... -

Nitric oxide donor molsidomine attenuates psychotomimetic effects of the NMDA receptor antagonist MK-801
Pitsikas, N.; Zisopoulou, S.; Sakellaridis, N. (2006)There is experimental evidence indicating that the noncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist MK-801 impairs cognition and produces a series of schizophrenia-like symptoms in rodents (hypermotility, stereotypies, and ataxia). ... -
PKC-epsilon activation is required for recognition memory in the rat
Zisopoulou, S.; Asimaki, O.; Leondaritis, G.; Vasilaki, A.; Sakellaridis, N.; Pitsikas, N.; Mangoura, D. (2013)Activation of PKC epsilon, an abundant and developmentally regulated PKC isoform in the brain, has been implicated in memory throughout life and across species. Yet, direct evidence for a mechanistic role for PKC epsilon ...
