Tóm tắt

The hole-board search task (HBST), a spatial learning test, was used to measure errors, working memory, reference memory, sequence, and response bias. Various dosages of desglycinamide9-[arginine8] vasopressin (DGAVP; 0.17, 0.5, 1, 3, and 10 µg) were administered in double blind experiments 1 h prior to six training sessions in the HBST. Body weight loss was a covariant in a repeated measures multivariate analysis of variance. Reliable changes in all dependent variables were observed. DGAVP dosages of 0.17 and 0.5 µg × sessions were both significant for the error measure, relative to saline controls. Both dosages showed increased errors (i.e., less learning), relative to saline controls. Pretreatment with DGAVP 0.5 µg × sessions produced a significant decrease in working memory performance, relative to saline controls. Pretreatment with DGAVP 1 µg × sessions was significant and revealed improved performance on errors, working memory, reference memory, and sequence variables, relative to saline controls. DGAVP 10 µg decreased the sequence of visits to food holes significantly. DGAVP 0.17 µg significantly decreased first hole food visits, relative to controls. The results offer further evidence that DGAVP effects performance errors (learning), working memory (short-term memory), reference memory (long-term memory), and sequence of visits to food holes (spatial memory). The dosage of DGAVP is critical in facilitating performance in the HBST.
