EFFECTS OF BICUCULLINE ON MEMORY FORMATION IN THE DAY-OLD CHICK FOLLOWING WEAKLY REINFORCED TRAINING
荷包牡丹碱对受低强度训练的小鸡的记忆形成的影响

This study was designed to examine the role of the GABAergic system in modulation of memory formation of chicks following weakly reinforced training on a one-trial passive avoidance task. Results indicate:(1) memory formation in chicks is modulated by the GABAergic system;(2) although the GABAergic system directly modulates intermediate-term memory,it appears also to be crucial for the formation of long-term memory.
