Abstract:
Paeoniflorin per-O-benzoates with the preserved pinane structure 2 and rearranged aglycone 3, containing C4 = O function, were obtained and their influence on learning and memory of aged rats was studied in the passive avoidance task. It was found that the chemical modification of paeoniflorin affected the cognitive functions of aged rats. The introduction of C4 = O function into the pinane part of benzoate 3 led to the improvement in learning process and preservation of the memory trace in aged rats as compared to the natural glycoside. This compound can be considered as the promising for further studies on in vivo models of disorders characteristic for Alzheimer's disease.

Learning and Memory: The Remember-Know Task
Our experience of memory is varied and complex. Sometimes we remember events in vivid detail, while other times we may only have a vague sense of familiarity. Memory researchers have made a distinction between memories that are recollected versus those that are familiar. A recollected item is one that is not only remembered, but carries with it details of the time at which it was learned or...

Piaget's Conservation Task and the Influence of Task Demands
Jean Piaget was a pioneer in the field of developmental psychology, and his theory of cognitive development is one of the most well-known psychological theories. At the heart of Piaget’s theory is the idea that children’s ways of thinking change over the course of childhood. Piaget provided evidence for these changes by comparing how children of different ages responded to questions and...
