Development of a computerized system for simultaneous visual discrimination in rats.

Abstract:

:In order to automate a simultaneous visual discrimination system, a Sutherland jumping-stand box was modified by adding two lateral alleys which connect the feeder compartment with the starting box. By means of a digital interface, this modified box was connected to an Apple IIe PC. A group of rats (n = 8) was trained. All subjects learned. Advantages relevant to the apparatus design, as well as the benefits derived from the automated procedure are discussed.

  • Intrahippocampal administration of 5-HT6 receptor drugs on memory consolidation and amnesia protocols.

    abstract::To our knowledge the intrahippocampal serotonergic 5-HT6 receptor tone on memory and amnesia models remains unexplored. Hence, in the present work we tested intrahippocampal administration of serotonin or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)6 receptor experimental molecules with differential intrinsic activity.
