Aversive stimulus attenuates impairment of acquisition in a delayed match to position T-maze task caused by a selective lesion of septo-hippocampal cholinergic projections.

Fitz NF, Gibbs RB, Johnson DA (2006) Aversive stimulus attenuates impairment of acquisition in a delayed match to position T-maze task caused by a selective lesion of septo-hippocampal cholinergic projections. Brain Res Bull 69(6):660-665. doi: 10.1016/j.brainresbull.2006.03.011

Summary: It is known that infusion of 192-IgG-SAP (Cat. #IT-01) into the medial septum of rats impairs acquisition of a delayed matching to position (DMP) T-maze task. Here, the authors evaluated whether introduction of an aversive stimulus 30 minutes prior to training would attenuate this deficit. Treated rats received 0.22 µg of 192-IgG-SAP injected into the medial septum. Data indicate that treated rats receiving an intraperitoneal injection of saline 30 minutes prior to training displayed less impairment than rats not receiving the aversive stimulus.
