Behavioral stimulants have widespread potential application in the treatment of affective disorders, disorders of vigilance, and disorders of sleep. Most behavioral stimulants, however, must be used with extreme caution because of undesirable side ef

The present experiment was part of a 3-year longitudinal study examining the effects of age and antioxidant treatment on cognitive decline in beagles. Two size-concept tasks were administered following pretraining on a series of two-choice (six subte

The effectiveness of two interventions, dietary fortification with antioxidants and a program of behavioral enrichment, was assessed in a longitudinal study of cognitive aging in beagle dogs. A baseline protocol of cognitive testing was used to selec

Application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques reveals that human brain aging varies across cortical regions. One area particularly sensitive to normal aging is the frontal lobes.In vitroneuropathological studies and behavioral measures i

The present study examined the effects of age on concept learning in beagle dogs. In experiment one, subjects were tested on a series of 2-choice size discrimination (2CSD) tasks, in which the correct response was to always approach the larger or sma

A decrease in motor activity is an expected concomitant of normal aging and has been reported in humans and nonhuman mammals. We have previously failed to find age differences in open-field locomotor activity in beagle dogs. We now report an age-asso

Cognitively characterized young and aged beagle dogs were administered six different spontaneous behavior tests, which provided measures of locomotion, exploration, and social interaction. Consistent with our previous findings, we obtained no overall

Objective—To compare the efficacy of adrafinil, propentofylline, and nicergoline for enhancing behavior of aged dogs. Animals—36 Beagles between 9 and 16 years old. Procedure—Dogs were randomly assigned to receive adrafinil (20 mg/kg of body we

Adrafinil, a vigilance enhancing pharmaceutical, was administered to aged dogs for 14 consecutive days at doses of 10, 20, 30, or 40 mg/kg using a crossover design. The effects on spontaneous behavior in a 10-min canine open-field test were systemati
