Memory consolidation: brain region and neurotransmitter specificity
Neuroscience Letters
|September 9, 1983
Abstract:
Post-trial injections of norepinephrine, but not dopamine, into the amygdala produce a long-term retention deficit (amnesia) for a 1-trial footshock experience in rats. In contrast, post-trial injections of dopamine, but not norepinephrine, into the caudate produce long-term facilitation. The data provide evidence for brain region-neurotransmitter specificity which supports a multiple component hypothesis.
