An automated learning and memory model in mice: pharmacological and behavioral evaluation of an autoshaped response.

abstract：:In the present study, we focused on γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) signaling through the γ-aminobutyric acid transporter (GAT) in the developing rat cerebral cortex. Tiagabine was used as a GAT inhibitor. The offspring received injections from birth until postnatal day 21 intraperitoneally. Physical development and neurol...
