Abstract
The consolidation of information entering the brain underlies the phenomena of learning and memory. This information can be stored in many parts of the brain, including the new cortex and the hippocampus. The hippocampus is the area in the middle temporal lobe that plays a key role in stabilizing memory and spatial learning in mammals; So that the destruction of this part disrupts the use of memory.
Vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of cognitive and dementia in the elderly.
However, other studies have shown that deletion of the vitamin D receptor gene has little effect on memory activity.
The structural and functional health of neurons is very important in the formation of memory and learning phenomena, and the role of this vitamin in maintaining the health of neurons has also been shown. Vitamin D protects the cortical cells of the brain against damage to neurons by increasing the expression of its receptor messenger RNA.
Considering the mentioned cases and the increasing prevalence of osteoporosis (especially in women) due to calcium and vitamin D deficiency in Iran, examining the relationship between this deficiency and memory and learning can be important in better understanding their pathogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and memory and statistical learning.
This research will be done systematically and meta-analysis on published studies in this field. For the findings of this study, articles published in the journals Prequest, Science Direct, PubMed, Google Scholar, Magiran, SID and Iran Medex will be used. The keywords used (main and sub-variables), search strategy (as a search in the title), the distance of the searched years (2015-2001) will be the most important items observed in the search.
