Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Estudo do desenvolvimento auditivo da habilidade de fusão binaural(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-04) ARAÚJO, Francisca Canindé Rosário da Silva; SILVA FILHO, Manoel da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2032152778116209Introduction: Binaural Interaction (BI) allows the introduction of auditory information (in the brain as a function of differences in perception of intensity or time of acoustic stimuli). Allows you to assess the action and integrated co- operative of the brainstem in lower understanding. As the maturation of the central nervous system occurs in the craniocaudal direction, the response to this ability may change during the course of development. Objectives: To normalize and compare the development with increasing age of response in the binaural diffusion test (BPT) with digital low-pass (LP) and high-pass (HP) filters in normative listeners. Methods: Prospective, cross-sectional and observational study. A total of 120 years were evaluated, in different age groups (6 to 8 years old, 10 to 12 years old, 14 to 16 years old and 20 to 30 years old) with TFB, filter at Fc 500/1700 Hz digital Finite Impulse Response type order 4096, with null phase and 5000 between 18 and 30 years with unfiltered speech material. Results: a progressive improvement in performance with increasing age (ANOVA (one-way): p<0.0001). There was a significant difference between the filtered words, age and the unfiltered p < (Dunnet: any filtered words,01). The difference between the age groups was significant (Tukey: p<0.01), less for the results obtained in the age groups of 6-8 and 10-12 years and of 14-16 and 18- 30 years. Discussion: IB is a skill that evolves with age development and NC fabrication. Final considerations: The interpretation of the TFB should take into account the performance by age group of the patients. This is important for future applications of these tests in people with Auditory Processing Disorder.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Investigação dos efeitos da cafeína e SCH58261 sobre as alterações comportamentais e no estresse oxidativo, e papel dos receptores A2A na potenciação de longo prazo após intoxicação por etanol em padrão binge em ratos fêmeas da adolescência a fase adulta(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-11) PINHEIRO, Bruno Gonçalves; MAIA, Cristiane do Socorro Ferraz; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4835820645258101Introduction: Binge consumption of ethanol is an intermittent and episodic pattern of ingestion involved in several brain disorders that affect adolescents, considered more susceptible to damage that persists into adulthood. In the deleterious effects of ethanol, an important intoxication mechanism is the overproduction of adenosine, which causes hyperexcitability in its receptors, generating behavioral changes and oxidative stress. These receptors are antagonized by caffeine, a bioactive compound that can modulate the deleterious overactivation of ethanol. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of caffeine administration on behavioral changes related to locomotion, anxiety, cognition and oxidative balance induced by ethanol in the binge drinking pattern during adolescence. In addition, it aims to assess the contribution of A2A receptors in the observed changes, including long-term potentiation (LTP). Material and Methods: Female Wistar rats (35 days old; n = 102) were allocated into six groups: control (distilled water, v.o), ethanol (3 g/kg/day; 3 days on-4 days off, v.o) , caffeine (10 mg/kg/day, v.o), caffeine + ethanol, A2A antagonist SCH58261 (0.1 mg/kg/day, intraperitoneal - i,p) and ethanol + SCH58261. The animals were submitted to open field behavioral tests, object recognition and elevated plus maze. The oxidative biochemistry parameters of trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC), glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), nitric oxide (NO), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in the pre- frontal and hippocampus. LTP recordings in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), ventral (vHip) and dorsal (dHIP) portions of the hippocampus of the control, ethanol, ethanol + SCH58261 and SCH58261 groups were evaluated through electrophysiology. Results: Caffeine prevented ethanol-induced behavioral impairments, including by blocking A2A receptors. In addition, it attenuated the oxidative stress induced by binge drinking by alternative A2A receptor pathways. Blockade of A2A receptors increased LTP levels in mPFC and vHIP, however decreased in dHIP. Conclusion: Caffeine showed neuroprotection in behavioral changes and oxidative stress induced by the binge drinking model in adolescent rats. In addition, blockade of A2A receptors mitigated the observed behavioral changes, with improvement of LTP levels in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, which suggests the contribution of this pathway to neuroprotection in deficits induced by ethanol exposure during adolescence.
