pilocarpine and Learning Disabilities

pilocarpine has been researched along with Learning Disabilities in 8 studies

Pilocarpine: A slowly hydrolyzed muscarinic agonist with no nicotinic effects. Pilocarpine is used as a miotic and in the treatment of glaucoma.
(+)-pilocarpine : The (+)-enantiomer of pilocarpine.

Learning Disabilities: Conditions characterized by a significant discrepancy between an individual's perceived level of intellect and their ability to acquire new language and other cognitive skills. These may result from organic or psychological conditions. Relatively common subtypes include DYSLEXIA, DYSCALCULIA, and DYSGRAPHIA.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To explore the mechanism underlying the development of learning deficits in patients with epilepsy, we generated a mouse model for temporal lobe epilepsy by intraperitoneally injecting mice with pilocarpine with lithium chloride, and investigated time-dependent changes in both contextual fear memory of those model mice and long-term potentiation (LTP) in hippocampal CA1 neurons 1 day, 2 weeks, and 6 weeks after the onset of status epilepticus (SE)."3.76Time-dependent changes in learning ability and induction of long-term potentiation in the lithium-pilocarpine-induced epileptic mouse model. ( Cai, GE; Ju, G; Li, ST; Lu, QC; Yang, Q; Zhang, Y, 2010)
") also potentiates oxotremorine-induced tremors in mice, in a dose-dependent manner, and this effect was completely prevented by atropine."3.71Evidence for the involvement of the muscarinic cholinergic system in the central actions of pentoxifylline. ( Cunha, GM; Farias, PA; Viana, GS, 2002)
"At postnatal day 45, seizure susceptibility was assessed in response to lithium-pilocarpine (LiPC) in adult offspring."1.39Prenatal immune challenge in rats increases susceptibility to seizure-induced brain injury in adulthood.
