(1) The effects of IL infusions of norBNI or pirenzepine (10 nmol/0.5 microl) alone on anxiety-like behaviour and aversive learning and memory in the elevated plus-maze replicated previously reported data. (2) Mixed M1/kappa receptor inhibition in the IL cortex exerted counteractive effects on anxiety-like behaviour and aversive learning in the elevated plus maze. (3) Mixed M1/kappa receptor inhibition appeared to exert additive disruptive effects on alternation performance and aspects of attention related to active working memory in the Y-maze.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
