Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Previous work has shown that rats with lesions of the globus pallidus (GP) exhibit a generalized learning impairment. Data are presented suggesting that this impairment is not due to inadvertent damage to the nucleus basalis magnocellularis. Rats with GP lesions evidenced a significant visual discrimination learning loss and a significant reduction in cortical choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity. However, there was no significant correlation between the severity of the learning loss and the amount of reduction of cortical ChAT activity.
