Abstract: | Effect of ondansetron (5-HT3-receptor antagonist) was studied on the working memory deficits induced by scopolamine, a muscarinic receptor antagonist in rats using a three-panel runway apparatus. Varying doses of scopolamine (0.1-0.56mg/kg, ip) were administered alone or in combination with ondansetron (0.01-1.0 mg/kg, ip) and memory errors and latency period of the session were recorded on a three-panel runway apparatus. Treatment with scopolamine (0.56 mg/kg) produced working memory deficits in rats. Treatment with ondansetron (1.0 mg/kg) significantly reduced the scopolamine-induced working memory deficits. |
