Ricceri L, Cutuli D, Venerosi A, Scattoni ML, Calamandrei G (2007) Neonatal basal forebrain cholinergic hypofunction affects ultrasonic vocalizations and fear conditioning responses in preweaning rats. Behav Brain Res 183:111-117. doi: 10.1016/j.bbr.2007.05.035
Summary: In order to expand on previous work investigating the effect of early cholinergic lesions on processing of aversive stimuli the authors administered 0.21 µg of 192-IgG-SAP (Cat. #IT-01) into the third ventricle of 7 day-old rat pups. One unexpected result in lesioned animals was the enhancement of fear-conditioned responses that are dependent on the hippocampus. The authors discuss several theories addressing the implications of these data. NOTE: material from Chemicon, CA
