Reversal by tetrahydroaminoacridine of scopolamine-induced memory and performance deficits in rats
Abstract
The effects of the cholinesterase inhibitors physostigmine and tetrahydroaminoacridine (THA) on memory and performance deficits induced by scopolamine were studied using an operant delayed non-matching to position task. No effect was seen on the performance of rats when treated with either physostigmine (0.1 mg/kg IP) or THA (1 mg/kg IP) alone. However, the performance deficits induced in the task by scopolamine (0.03 mg/kg SC) were reversed by the same doses of the cholinesterase inhibitors.
