Abstract
Albino CF1 female mice were heated with a diathermy unit immediately following training on a single-trial passive-avoidance task. Retention, tested 24 h later, was significantly impaired only in those animals that had heat-induced convulsions. Even elevations of temperature more than 5 deg C above normal, whenever they did not produce convulsions, failed to produce amnesia. These results indicate that even the strong stimulation provided by hyperthermia is not sufficient in itself to produce amnesia.
