[Amnesia induced in rats by benzodiazepines in a non-painful situation]
Abstract:
During their first exposure to a non-familiar situation, food deprived rats eat only for a short time. During their second exposure, the rats eat for a longer time. Rats treated with benzodiazepines before their first exposure showed no enhanced food intake during the second exposure. This effect did not seem related to an acquired taste aversion but more likely could be explained by an impaired retention of the first experience.
