Involvement of muscarinic system of the dorsal hippocampus on acute stress-induced spatial learning and memory enhancement in male mice
Introduction: The effects of stimulation and inhibition of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in the dorsal hippocampus on spatial learning and memory in male NMRI mice after acute stress were investigated. Materials and Methods: Animals were divided into two subsets of stress and non-stress. Each subset consisted of: saline, atropine (a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist) (1, 5, and ...
متن کاملDissociable roles of the dorsal striatum and dorsal hippocampus in conditional discrimination and spatial alternation T-maze tasks.
The roles of the dorsal hippocampus (DH) and dorsal striatum (DS) in the learning and retention of conditional discrimination (CD) rules is a subject of debate. Although previous studies have examined the relationship between the DH and DS and the performance of CD tasks in operant chambers, the relative contributions of these two brain regions to the retention of CD rules requiring an associat...
متن کاملSpatial Learning and Memory in Barnes Maze Test and Synaptic Potentiation in Schaffer Collateral-CA1 Synapses of Dorsal Hippocampus in Freely Moving Rats
Introduction: Synaptic plasticity has been suggested as the primary physiological mechanism underlying memory formation. Many experimental approaches have been used to investigate whether the mechanisms underlying long-term potentiation (LTP) are activated during learning. Nevertheless, little evidence states that hippocampal-dependent learning triggers synaptic plasticity. In this study, we in...
متن کاملThe role of the dorsal striatum and dorsal hippocampus in probabilistic and deterministic odor discrimination tasks.
Three experiments explored the contribution of the cortico-striatal system and the hippocampus system to the acquisition of solutions to simultaneous instrumental odor discriminations. Inactivation of the dorsal striatum after rats had reached criterion on a three problem probabilistic set of discriminations--A (80%) vs. B (20%), C (67%) vs. D (33%), E(67%) vs. F(33%)--impaired test performance...
متن کاملIncidental (unreinforced) and reinforced spatial learning in rats with ventral and dorsal lesions of the hippocampus.
We investigated whether the ventral and dorsal hippocampus were differentially involved in incidental spatial learning. Rats with ventral and dorsal hippocampal lesions were tested on an unreinforced test of spatial memory that takes advantage of their natural propensity to explore novelty. Rats were presented with two copies of an identical object in a large circular open field arena. Subseque...
