## Abstract Newly synthesized poly (A)‐associated mRNA was analysed in the hippocampal CA~3~ pyramidal nerve cells in rats subjected to training to reverse handedness. The nerve cells of trained animals showed a smaller percentage of poly (A)‐associated mRNA than did the active controls. However,

✦ Synopsis
Direct evidence is presented that training to change behavior initiates synthesis of specific species of mRNA in pyramidal nerve cells of CA3 of the hippocampus in rats. Reversal of handedness was used as goal-directed operant test and active controls. Newly synthesized poly(A) associated mRNA with S value of 25 and a stimulation of poly(A) lacking mRNA of 8--9 S and 16--17 S were found in the CA3 nerve cells of trained but not in active controls.
