Patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) are at high risk of experiencing cognitive impairment. Such dysfunction is also observed in an animal model of TLE, the rat model of pilocarpine-induced epilepsy.
We investigated the effects of fish oil supplementation on spatial memory in rats with pilocarpine-induced epilepsy using the Morris Water Maze (MWM) test.
Although rats with pilocarpine-induced epilepsy treated with fish oil learned the platform location significantly faster by Day 7 of the acquisition phase, spatial memory performance of these rats was unaffected by fish oil supplementation during probe trials.
Our study provides insights into the importance of considering nutraceutical strategies for enhancing cognitive abilities in patients with TLE.
颞叶癫痫（TLE）患者有发生认知障碍的高风险。在TLE的动物模型——毛果芸香碱诱导癫痫的大鼠模型中也观察到了这种功能障碍。
我们使用莫里斯水迷宫（MWM）试验研究了补充鱼油对毛果芸香碱诱导癫痫大鼠空间记忆的影响。
虽然在训练阶段第7天时，用鱼油治疗的毛果芸香碱诱导癫痫大鼠显著更快地学会了平台位置，但在探索试验期间，这些大鼠的空间记忆表现并未受到补充鱼油的影响。
我们的研究为考虑采用营养策略提高TLE患者认知能力的重要性提供了见解。
