there are several conflicting evidences showing the effect of morphine on learning and memory processes. in the present study the effect of chronic morphine administration on passive avoidance, active avoidance and spatial learning and memory of morphine dependent male rats using passive avoidance shuttle box and morris water maze tasks were investigated, respectively. male rats received morphi...

introduction: learning and memory deficits in some diseases are new subjects of research. bupropion, as dopamine and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor and an antidepressant agent, has been previously shown to affect learning and memory processes. this study was designed to test the effect of intra-hippocompal bupropion injection on active avoidance learning task in rats. methods: adult male wist...

Definition Learning to avoid aversive outcomes is crucial for survival, and it is ubiquitous in everyday life. This entry focuses on ▶ active avoidance, in which performing a certain behavior prevents an aversive outcome that would otherwise occur. ▶Avoidance learning in that context consists of learning to perform the appropriate behaviors in the appropriate circumstances to prevent aversive o...

To clarify the role of the amygdala in the fulfillment of memory and/or learning, amygdala-lesioned mice were tested in passive and active avoidance performances and also in spatial learning tasks. Although the lesioned animals showed deteriorated performances in both passive and active avoidance tests, they executed the spatial learning tasks as well as the control mice. The learning deficit w...
