Gestational-lactational exposure to Aroclor 1254 impairs radial-arm maze performance in male rats.
Developmental exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) has been associated with cognitive deficits in children. The current study assessed effects of gestational and lactational exposure to a commercial PCB mixture, Aroclor 1254 (A1254), on spatial learning and memory in rats, using the radial-arm maze (RAM). Pregnant Long-Evans females (10/dose group) were exposed to 0 or 6-mg/kg/day A1254...
متن کامل3,4 methylenedioxymethamphetamine (ecstasy) impairs eight-arm radial maze performance and arm entry pattern in rats.
The recreational use of 3,4 methylenedioxymethamphetamine (ecstasy) in humans has been associated with memory impairment. The present study examined whether ecstasy impairs short- and long-term working memory and the pattern of arm entries in rats tested in the 8-arm radial maze with a 2-hr delay. After completing the training session, the rats were given a single dose of ecstasy (1, 2, or 3 mg...
متن کاملWithin-Trial Dynamics of Radial Arm Maze Performance in Rats
The behavior of rats white solving a 12-arm radial maze was investigated using measures of response bias, choice latencies, and behavioral organization. Response bias decreased as a function of choice number, while the amount of time spent on the center platform between choices increased substantially during the last few choices. This increase in time between choices was largely accounted for b...
متن کاملDevelopmental chlorpyrifos and methyl parathion exposure alters radial-arm maze performance in juvenile and adult rats.
Although the use of organophosphate (OP) insecticides has been restricted, sufficient exposure can occur to induce detrimental neurobehavioral effects. In this study, we measured physical and reflex development and spatial learning and memory in rats repeatedly exposed to incremental doses of chlorpyrifos (CPS) and methyl parathion (MPS) from postnatal day (PND) 1 to PND21. Other than decreased...
متن کاملChlordiazepoxide specifically impairs nonspatial reference memory in the cued radial arm maze in rats.
Anxiolytic benzodiazepines, at low doses, reportedly impair the radial arm maze with nonspatial visual/tactile but not spatial cues. We replicated the former result controlling for changes in drug state and cue effectiveness. Rats learned an eight-arm radial maze with reward in only four arms. The reward varied in spatial position from trial to trial but was always cued by a piece of sandpaper ...
