摘要
该文观察了慢性复合应激对大鼠学习与记忆功能的影响.实验采用成年Wistar大鼠,将其随机分成应激组和对照组.采用垂直旋转、睡眠剥夺、噪音刺激和夜间光照4种应激原,无规律地交替刺激动物6周,每天6 h,制作慢性复合应激动物模型.采用Morris水迷宫和Y-迷宫测试大鼠学习与记忆成绩,并用Cresyl violet染色法对大鼠海马结构进行神经细胞计数。

Abstract
The present study aimed at investigating the effects of chronic multiple stress on learning and memory functions of rats. Adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into stressed and control groups. Rats in the stressed group were irregularly and alternately exposed to the situation of vertical revolution, sleep deprivation, noise stimulation, and night illumination 6 h per day for 6 weeks to prepare a chronic multiple stressed model. Learning and memory performance of rats was measured by using Morris water maze first and Y-maze afterwards. Neurons in the dentate gyrus(DG), CA3 and CA1 regions of the hippocampus were stained by using Cresyl violet method and counted. The results showed that: (1) After chronic multiple stress, compared with the control rats, the escape latency to the hidden platform in Morris water maze was significantly shortened in stressed rats.
