Effects of chronic scopolamine administration on spatial working memory and hippocampal receptors related to learning.

abstract：:Pair-housed, water-deprived rats were trained to run in a two-way shuttle box, using water reinforcement. Animals were tested either singly or in pairs; in the paired condition, the animals were required to shuttle in close physical proximity. Paired performance, but not single performance was severely disrupted by si...
