Effects of reserpine on the plus-maze discriminative avoidance task: dissociation between memory and motor impairments.
2006
Abstract We investigated the effects of reserpine (0.1–0.5 mg/kg) on the performance of mice in the plus-maze discriminative avoidance task (DAVT), which simultaneously evaluates memory and motor activity. All doses induced memory impairment (increased aversive arm time) but only 0.5 mg/kg reserpine decreased locomotion (entries in enclosed arms). The results suggest that the DAVT evaluation in reserpine-treated mice can be a useful model for studying cognitive deficits accompanied by motor impairments.
