Hebb-Williams performance and scopolamine challenge in rats with partial immunotoxic hippocampal cholinergic deafferentation.

Marques Pereira P, Cosquer B, Schimchowitsch S, Cassel JC (2005) Hebb-Williams performance and scopolamine challenge in rats with partial immunotoxic hippocampal cholinergic deafferentation. Brain Res Bull 64(5):381-394. doi: 10.1016/j.brainresbull.2004.09.007

Summary: Much of the recent work done on the role of cholinergic neurons in the hippocampus has been focused on detecting subtle learning deficits. In this study, the authors investigated the effect of 0.368 µg of 192-Saporin (Cat. #IT-01) administered to the medial septum of rats in four injections. A complex learning task, the Hebb-Williams maze, was used to define small deficits in the learning performance of the lesioned animals prior to, and after the injection of scopolamine.
