The present study examined the effects of carbon monoxide (CO) intoxication and aging on learning and memory deficit in young($5{\sim}8$ weeks) and aged($52{\sim}66$ weeks) mice, using the step down and step through passive avoidance failure techniques. We also investigated the effects of ginseng saponins on memory deficit. Significant decrease in memory registration, retention and retrieval function in young mice and decrease in memory registration and retention function in aged mice were observed. Normal young mice were apt to perform to a great degree of passive avoidance response than normal aged mice, but there was no difference between both groups by CO exposure. Administration of ginseng saponins showed an improvement on passive avoidance failure induced by CO exposure.

기억은 상황인식을 개발하고 유지하는 데 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 비행상황 인식의 민감도에 영향을 주는 기억과정들이 조종사의 전문성 정도에 따라 어떻게 다른지를 조사하였다. 실험 1에서는 조종사가 상황정보를 회상하기 위해 사용하는 여러 기억과정들을 비교하였다. 즉, 조종실 계기판에 제시되는 상이한 형태(공간적 및 언어적)의 상황정보에 관한 조종사의 기억을 즉각회상과 지연 회상법으로 평가하였다. 실험 2에서는 조종사의 상황인식 민감도를 측정하였고, 그 민감도와 실험 1에서 수집한 여러 회상기억 측정치들과의 상관관계를 조사하였다. 두 실험결과를 요약하면, 전문성 효과가 상황정보의 활동기억보다는 장기기억에서 나타났고, 상황인식 민감도를 높이는 데 요구되는 상황정보의 기억표상이 전문성 정도에 따라 달랐다. 실험결과의 이론적 설명이 심리학의 전문성 이론을 중심으로 논의되었다.

Long-term effects of Ganoderma lucidum (GL) on memory and oxidative stress of senescence-accelerated mice (SAM) were investigated. Senescence-resistant (R1) and prone (P8) strains of SAM were fed GL diets, premixed with low (20 mg/kg/day, T1) or high (200 mg/kg/day, T2) levels of GL powder for 9 months starting from young (3 months of age) or for 5 months starting from old (7 months of age). After the final feeding at 12 months of age, all animals were subjected to passive avoidance test for the evaluation of memory function. In addition, the changes in hepatic thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance (TBARS) and glutathione were analyzed. SAMP8 fed GL diets from old age (7 months) exhibited the improvement of memory, although GL rather inhibited the memory function of both SAMR1 and SAMP8 mice fed diets from young (3 months of age). Hepatic TBARS contents were decreased in SAMP8 fed high GL diet for 9 months and in SAMR1 fed low GL diet for 5 months. Hepatic glutathione content was also remarkably increased in SAMR1 following both feeding periods, and less extent in SAMP8 fed diet for 5 months of age. Taken together, it is proposed that GL extracts may play an anti-aging role through antioxidant action, and thereby may improve the senescence-related memory dysfunction.

The epilayer of vertically stacked, self-assembled InAs Quantum Dots (QDs)was grown by MBE with solid sources in non-cracking K-cells, and the sample was fabricated to a FET structure using a conventional technology. The device characteristic and performance were studied. At 77K and room temperature, the threshold voltage shift values are 0.75V and 0.35 V, which are caused by the trapping and detrapping of electrons in the quantum dots. Discharging and charging curves form the part of a hysteresis loop to exhibit memory function. The electrical injection of confined electrons in QDs products the threshold voltage shift and memory function with the persistent electron trapping, which shows the potential use for a room temperature application.

In this work, we consider a problem in the context of thermoelectric materials with memory-dependent derivative for a half space which is assumed to have variable thermal conductivity depending on the temperature. The Lamé's modulii of the half space material is taken as a function of the vertical distance from the surface of the medium. The surface is traction free and subjected to a time dependent thermal shock. The problem was solved by using the Laplace transform method together with the perturbation technique. The obtained results are discussed and compared with the solution when Lamé's modulii are constants. Numerical results are computed and represented graphically for the temperature, displacement and stress distributions. Affectability investigation is performed to explore the thermal impacts of a kernel function and a time-delay parameter that are characteristic of memory dependent derivative heat transfer in the behavior of tissue temperature. The correlations are made with the results obtained in the case of the absence of memory-dependent derivative parameters.

Administration of Scopolamine can be considered a psychopharmacological model of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We made an animal model of Alzheimer's disease (AD) by administering Scopolamine to Blab/c mice. In this study, we investigated the effects of Resplex Alpha on memory impairment and cognitive function in mice in a mouse animal model of Scopolamine-induced memory impairment. Through Y-mazed and passive avoidance behavioral assays, we observed that Resplex Alpha recovered Scopolamine-induced short-term memory and cognitive functions. The results of our study imply that Resplex Alpha may be beneficial in the prevention of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) has memory impairment associated with aggregation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain. Although anti-amyloid β (Aβ) protein antibody and chemical drugs can be prescribed in the clinic, they show adverse effects or low effectiveness. Therefore, the development of a new drug is necessarily needed. We focused on the cognitive function of Panax ginseng and tried to find active ingredient(s). We isolated panaxcerol D, a kind of glycosyl glyceride, from the non-saponin fraction of P. ginseng extract. Methods: We explored effects of acute or sub-chronic administration of panaxcerol D on cognitive function in scopolamine- or Aβ_25-35 peptide-treated mice measured by several behavioral tests. After behavioral tests, we tried to unveil the underlying mechanism of panaxcerol D on its cognitive function by Western blotting. Results: We found that pananxcerol D reversed short-term, long-term and object recognition memory impairments. The decreased extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) or Ca²⁺/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) in scopolamine-treated mice was normalized by acute administration of panaxcerol D. Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), caspase 3, NF-kB p65, synaptophysin and brainderived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression levels in Aβ_25-35 peptide-treated mice were modulated by sub-chronic administration of panaxcerol D. Conclusion: Pananxcerol D could improve memory impairments caused by cholinergic blockade or Aβ accumulation through increased phosphorylation level of ERK or its anti-inflammatory effect. Thus, panaxcerol D as one of non-saponin compounds could be used as an active ingredient of P. ginseng for improving cognitive function.

본 논문에서는 전하트랩형 SONOS 메모리에서 프로그래밍 동작 후 변화되는 문턱전압을 시뮬레이션에 의하여 구현하고자 한다. SONOS 소자는 질화막내의 트랩 뿐 만아니라, 질화막-블로킹산화막 계면에 존재하는 트랩에 전하를 저장하는 전하트랩형 비휘발성기억소자로서, 기억상태에 따른 문턱전압을 시뮬레이션으로 구현하기위해서는 질화막내의 트랩을 정의할 수 있어야 된다. 그러나 기존의 시뮬레이터에서는 질화막내의 트랩모델이 개발되어 있지 않은 것이 현실이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 SONOS 구조의 터널링산화막-질화막 계면과 질화막-블로킹산화막 계면에 두개의 전극을 정의하여 프로그램 전압과 시간에 따라서 전극에 유기되는 전하량으로부터 전하트랩형 기억소자의 문턱전압변화를 시뮬레이션 할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제안한다.

Male rats aged 15 months, which had been over-trained with 12 arm radial maze up to the criterion of 1 or 2 errors an average per trial, were divided into two groups and 7 months after the over-training and were studied the effect of red ginseng trial saponin fraction (PT) on the spatial memory function. The rats which could be improved the performance of 9.75$\pm$1.26 (within 185$\pm$8.2 1 sec) were classified into "normal group" (n=4) and the ones, which showed R-maze performance of 7.0$\pm$2.87 within 300 sec, "deteriorated memory group" (n=5). PT was dissolved in distilled water and injected into the deteriorated memory group intraperitoneally at 30 min before R-maze for 3 consecutive days. The injected amount of PT on the 1st day was 10mg/rat, 1mg/rat both on the 2nd the 3rd day. As results, the performance was restored to 9.4$\pm$2.0 after stopping ginseng administration, although the lower performance values (1.4$\pm$0.89, 2.8$\pm$0.83, 3.8$\pm$0.84, respectively) were exerted during the three days of PT administration than before PT administration (7.0$\pm$2.87) since 1 day after administratitan of PT. The restored performance values were continuously maintained up to the level of the "normal group". However, any lower performance values were not observed when PT was administered via intraperitoneal route to the normal group in about of 2 mg/rat except 10mg1ra1. The number of errors when the foods in arms were put at only 6 places was clearly reduced during the 9 days of consecutive administration of PT as compared with untreated control. These results indicated that PT administration may enhance their cognitive function after a long lapse of time not only in the memory deteriorated rats but also in normal ones. The reason exerted lower performance values during PT administration in this paper was discussed as compared with the results of T-maze behavior of another 3-month-aged rats. of another 3-month-aged rats.
