THE EFFECT OF CAFFEINE ON SHORT-TERM SPATIAL LEARNING IN PERIPLANETA AMERICANA
No full textThe American cockroach, Periplaneta americana, has been used extensively in recent years to study aspects of the complex vertebrate nervous system as a simple and accessible invertebrate model. This experiment examined the effects of caffeine on short-term spatial learning in cockroaches using a modified Barnes maze. Prior to every trial, the treatment group was injected with a caffeine solution and the control group was injected with a saline solution. The amount of time required for the cockroach to complete the maze during the initial learning trial was recorded. One hour later, the amount of time required for the subjects to complete a second memory trial was also recorded.
A one-tailed t-test between the individual trial times for the control group established that learning had occurred. A two-tailed t¬-test between the individual trial times for the treatment group showed no significant difference. A t-test of means compared the difference in maze completion times between the groups and proved there was a significant difference. Therefore, caffeine did not positively affect short-term spatial learning in cockroaches
De l'Utopie radicale à la bonne gouvernance: le cas du Québec
Get PDFLe Québec, on le sait, a connu dans la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle un mouvement social et politique qui a radicalement transformé son échiquier politique, économique et social, de même que sa culture. Cette communication a pour but de présenter la difficulté d’émergence de nouvelles utopies dans le cadre du système qui en a résulté. La génération radicale des années 1960 et 1970 aura en effet laissé derrière elle des structures, une culture politique et un discours qui occupent l’espace social et laissent peu de place à l’innovation. Comment les nouvelles générations de militants radicaux y font-ils leur place? Comment se situent-ils face aux politiques et discours socio-démocrates issus de ce demi-siècle d’histoire québécoise et au virage néolibéral déjà bien entamé? Quels espaces peuvent-ils investir? Quels blocages rencontrent-ils? Voilà les questions auxquels cette communication tentera de répondre. Cette analyse sera ancrée dans un contexte régional et d’une analyse critique de l’approche néolibérale de la décentralisation du gouvernement et de la lente corporatisation de la société québécoise
