Possible involvement of central cholinergic system in ameliorating effects of indeloxazine, a cerebral activator, on disturbance of learning behavior in rats
Abstract
Effects of indeloxazine, a cerebral activator, on passive avoidance learning by disruption of cholinergic transmission were studied in rats. The shortened latency was prolonged when indeloxazine was administered before training in rats subjected to scopolamine-injection, ethylcholine aziridinium ion (AF64A)-treatment and nucleus basalis magnocellularis (NBM) lesion. Indeloxazine administered immediately after training also showed ameliorating effects on passive avoidance in NBM-lesioned rats. Indeloxazine increased extracellular acetylcholine concentration in the frontal cortex of rats. Indeloxazine possesses facilitatory effects on cerebral function in part due to activation of the central cholinergic system.
