Abstract

Neurodegeneration can produce behavioral impairments. Previously, we have found that inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 activity or physical activity was neuroprotective during kainic-acid-induced neural loss. Here, we investigated the combined effect of exercise pre-insult and cyclooxygenase inhibitor treatment post-kainate-induced brain damage. However, in spite of an increase in BDNF levels, the combination did not improve behavioral performance in Morris watermaze and object exploration tasks.
