Abstract:
According to the methods described earlier (1), the effect of some antidepressants on memory retention in "good" and "poor" learning mice was studied. The present study indicates that several antidepressants have different activity on memory retrieval of the two subtypes of animals, which is directly responsible for the results here reported. In general terms, the data obtained show that, in addition to the classical antidepressant activity, some derivatives may exert a behavioral disinhibition.
