In this study, the role of gummosin in improving memory in the scopolamine memory impairment model was systematically examined. Memory and learning are the most developed and complex functions of the nervous system. Learning is the acquisition of new information that occurs as a change in behavior, and memory is the ability to store and retrieve learned information. In other words, memory is a combination of various processes of information acquisition, consolidation, storage and retrieval. The processes of memory consolidation and storage are the result of a series of time-dependent neurobiological events that occur after the initial formation of memory. In addition, this fluctuation of processes related to memory storage can fully occur shortly after the initial learning experience. Memory is a direct result of learning ,as it stores and retrieves learned experiences and information. The results of our study show that scopolamine leads to impaired memory, learning and synaptic plasticity, which is associated with a change in the expression of various genes and a reduction in the number of hippocampal neurons. The disorders that occurred in the rats of the scopolamine group confirm the model used in this study to induce memory and learning deficits, which is consistent with previous studies confirming the model used to induce Alzheimer's disease. The results of the behavioral tests in this study showed that, consistent with previous work, scopolamine caused a significant increase in anxiety behavior that was associated with a decrease in time spent in the central area compared to the control group, while donepezil injection resulted in a decrease in anxiety behavior. The time spent in the central area was increased compared to the scopolamine group.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) comprises alterations in brain anatomy and physiology that ultimately affect information processing and behavior. In most cases, autism is considered idiopathic, involving alterations in numerous genes whose functions are not extensively documented. We evaluated the C58/J mouse strain as an idiopathic model of ASD, emphasizing synaptic transmission as the basis of information processing.

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are increasingly replacing conventional communication systems due to their decentralized and dynamic nature. However, their wireless architecture makes them highly vulnerable to flooding attacks, which can disrupt communication, deplete energy resources, and degrade network performance. This study presents a novel hybrid deep learning approach integrating Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) architectures to effectively detect and mitigate flooding attacks in MANETs.

Genetics plays a significant role in Multiple Sclerosis (MS), with approximately 12.6% of cases occurring in familial form. While previous studies have demonstrated differences in disease progression and MRI findings between familial and sporadic MS, there has been no comparison of cognitive impairment between them.

Dementia refers to an umbrella phenotype of many different underlying pathologies with Alzheimer's disease (AD) being the most common type. Neuropathological examination remains the gold standard for accurate AD diagnosis, however, most that we know about AD genetics is based on Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) of clinically defined AD. Such studies have identified multiple AD susceptibility variants with a significant portion of the heritability unexplained and highlighting the phenotypic and genetic heterogeneity of the clinically defined entity.

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented unprecedented challenges worldwide, necessitating effective modelling approaches to understand and control its transmission dynamics. In this study, we propose a novel approach that integrates asymptomatic and super-spreader individuals in a single compartmental model. We highlight the advantages of utilizing incommensurate fractional order derivatives in ordinary differential equations, including increased flexibility in capturing disease dynamics and refined memory effects in the transmission process.
