Electroconvulsive shock and lidocaine reveal rapid consolidation of spatial working memory in the water maze.
Head trauma leading to concussion and electroconvulsive shock (ECS) in humans causes amnesia for events that occurred shortly before the injury (retrograde amnesia). The present experiment investigated the amnesic effect of lidocaine and ECS in 25 rats trained on a working memory version of the Morris water task. Each day, the escape platform was moved to a new location; learning was evidenced ...
متن کاملLidocaine, tetrodotoxin and their effect on consolidation of spatial memory.
This study was aimed at comparing the effect of unilateral hippocampal inactivation with tetrodotoxin (TTX) and lidocaine on spatial memory consolidation. Both drugs block voltage-dependent sodium channels. However, TTX and lidocaine differ in the duration of their effects, with maximum TTX effect between 30 min and 120 min, washing out in 24 hours. Lidocaine maximum effect occurs 20-30 minutes...
متن کاملDisruption of component processes of spatial working memory by electroconvulsive shock but not magnetic seizure therapy.
Self-ordered spatial working memory measures provide important information regarding underlying cognitive strategies, such as stereotypy. This strategy is based on repetitive sequential selection of a spatial pattern once a correct sequence has been identified. We previously reported that electroconvulsive shock (ECS) but not magnetic seizure therapy (MST) impaired performance on a spatial work...
متن کاملSimultaneous evaluation of spatial working memory and motivation by the allocentric place discrimination task in the water maze in rats.
In order to evaluate learning and memory deficits separately from and simultaneously with motivational, motor and sensory impairments in identical animals, we developed the allocentric place discrimination task test using a water maze in rats. For this assessment task, two similar, visible platforms, one was fixed and the other was floating, were simultaneously present in a pool, and the workin...
متن کاملThe effect of sub-anesthetic and anesthetic ketamine on water maze memory acquisition, consolidation and retrieval.
Ketamine, a non-selective inhibitor of NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) channels is used in anesthetic or sub-anesthetic doses to induce analgesia, amnesia, to suppress fear, anxiety and depression. Although the ketamine's effect on memory acquisition is known, its effects on other aspects of memory are controversial. Morris water maze is a task which assesses spatial learning and memory. This study...
