Comparison in mice of the amnestic effects of cycloheximide and 6-hydroxydopamine in a one-trial passive avoidance task

T C Rainbow et al. Pharmacol Biochem Behav. 1976 Mar.

Abstract

To test further the hypothesis that cycloheximide (CXM)-induced amnesia is due in part to its effects on the central adrenergic system, a comparison was made in mice of the effects of the antibiotic and of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) on memory of a one-trial passive avoidance task. Both drugs produced anmesia 24 hr after training but unlike CXM, 6-OHDA had no effect on memory 20 min after training.
