Abstract:
A single oral treatment with 0.3 mg/kg of the competitive NMDA receptor blocker CGP 37 849 improved the retention performance of rats in a social memory paradigm. The effect disappeared with increasing doses: at 1 mg/kg a positive trend could still be observed; at 3 mg/kg no effect whatever was detectable.
