HISTOLOGICAL EXAMINATION OF RETINAL FUNCTION AND THE EFFECTS OF CURCUMA LONGA ON MEMORY CORRECTION IN EXPERIMENTAL OLFACTORY BULBECTOMY RAT MODELS

Abstract

According to the latest literature data, histological studies of the retina in animal models of experimental Alzheimer's disease prove invaluable for identifying the disease in its early stages. The effects of plant antioxidants in disease rehabilitation can be determined by histological analysis of the retina. For this purpose, rats were used as the research object. Experimental animals were trained in the Morris maze to form and study spatial memory. To study the effects of herbal substances on memory correction curcuma was used in experimental animals. Histological analysis of the retina was comparatively analyzed in control, bulbectomized animals and curcuma-treated animals after bulbectomy. The histological materials obtained show that curcuma has a neuroprotective effect on histological changes animal retinas after bulbectomy and dysfunctions accompanied by deterioration of visual memory.
