This study aims to explore the impact of social isolation on memory, learning and behavioral changes in middle aged Sprague Dawley (SD) and Wistar Albino (WIS) rat strains and to investigate cortical trace element levels, seeking potential correlations between these levels and the observed behavioral responses to social isolation. Four groups of 14-month-old male rats established: control and isolated SDs and WIS rats (CONT-SD, ISO-SD, CONT-WIS, ISO-WIS). Morris Water Maze (MWM) and Porsolt Forced Swimming (PFS) tests were conducted for behavioral assessment. Following behavioral tests, rats w
