The role of extramaze cues in spontaneous alternation in a plus-maze.
Performance on various spatial tasks is superior in the presence of extramaze cues that provide guidance in locating the goal. This study was an investigation of the effect of such cues on nonrewarded, continuous spontaneous alternation in a plus-maze, a spatial task with no explicit reinforcement. Rats were tested in five daily sessions. Alternation scores, which reflect how frequently the lea...
متن کاملTime Course of Changes in Passive Avoidance and Y-maze Performance in Male Diabetic Rats
Diabetes mellitus is accompanied with disturbances in learning, memory, and cognitive skills in the human society and experimental animals. Therefore, this research study was conducted to evaluate time-dependent changes in passive avoidance and Y-maze performance in male diabetic rats. For this purpose, male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control and diabetic groups. For induction of di...
متن کاملNeostriatal lesions impaired rats' delayed alternation performance in a T-maze but not in a two-key operant chamber.
Rats with lesions in the neostriatal region that belongs to the prefrontal system were trained in two versions of delayed alternation. They performed as proficiently as intact animals in a two-key operant chamber. The same operated rats took many more trials to reach criterion when subsequently compared with the same control group in a T-maze. This finding demonstrates that variants of delayed ...
متن کاملSpatial delayed alternation of rats in a T-maze: effects of neurotoxic lesions of the medial prefrontal cortex and of T-maze rotations.
The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is usually considered to be a brain area important for working memory processes. In rats this statement is evidenced by their diminished performance in delay-type tasks following mPFC damage, notably in spatial delayed alternation (SDA) in a T-maze. This study has addressed two questions. First, to examine whether the functional deficiency in SDA, observed in...
