Nicotine improves working memory function in a variety of different testing situations. In a series of studies, we have found that chronic nicotine infusion improves working memory performance of rats in the win-shift version of the radial-arm maze. In the current studies, we examined the interactio

The facilitative effects of pre-and early postnatal choline chloride dietary supplementation on adult rat spatial and nonspatial learning and memory were examined using a delayed match-to-place and a transverse-patterning discrimination task. Animals were exposed to the choline supplementation both
The existence in a population of aging rats of classes that display a different performance in the Morris water-maze test was investigated by cluster analysis procedure. These classes identified at 18 months of age showed a different response to levocarnitine acetyl and had a different behavioral pr
Nicotine and other nicotinic agonists have been found to improve performance in a variety of tasks, including the radial-arm maze to improve memory. There has been an active effort to develop novel nicotinic agonists for the treatment of cognitive dysfunction such as is seen in Alzheimer's disease.
## Abstract The hippocampus is implicated in spatial cognition, which is sexually dimorphic and developmentally sensitive to gonadal steroids. Previously we have shown a sex difference in CA3 pyramidal cell layer volume and neuronal soma size that was reversible with neonatal castration in males or
