Abstract

An interaction between N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and MK-801 was examined in mice using a modified elevated plus-maze paradigm that allows assessment of the adaptive form of spatial memory. NMDA administered (s.c.) immediately after the acquisition session protected the animals against the amnesia induced by MK-801 given shortly before the retention session. Behavioral performance, expressed as the transfer latency, and therefore spatial memory potency of NMDA plus MK-801 treated animals was comparable with that of both NMDA-treated animals and the controls.
