Abstract

The role of the septal region in passive avoidance (step-through) learning was studied by administering 15µg/0.5µl of scopolamine intraseptally to rats, together with an i.p. injection of 2mg/kg of diazepam to the same animals. The combined treatment provoked a severe impairment in retention of the learning situation, whereas animals which received either scopolamine or diazepam alone did not show any deficit.
