Behavioral experimental paradigms for the evaluation of drug's influence on cognitive functions: Interpretation of associative, spatial/non-spatial and working memory.

CONCLUSION: Since the neurodegenerative disorders and dementia has continuously been increasing, wide range of therapeutic targets have been developed at cellular and molecular level. This arise the necessity of screening of these targets in different cognitive behavioral paradigms which reflect their memory enhancing potential. The understanding of behavioral models and involvement of brain structures in cognitive functions highlighted in the present review might be helpful to advance therapeutic interventions.
