摘要
The effects of the cholinomimetic drug, physostigmine (0, 0.01, 0.025, 0.05 and 0.1 mg/kg, i.p.), on shuttle-box avoidance learning and electroencephalographic (EEG)activity were investigated, in two separate studies, in mice belonging to the inbred C57BL/6 (C57) and DBA/2 (DBA) strains. The results of the behavioral investigation showed a consistent, significant enhancement of avoidance performance, on the whole of 5 daily training sessions, in C57 mice treated with the lowest dose (0.01 mg/kg) and in DBA mice treated with the highest doses (0.05 and 0.1 mg/kg) of the drug. Doses higher than 0.01 mg/kg, in C57 mice, and lower than 0.05 mg/kg, in DBA mice, had no significant effect. The avoidance improvements induced by physostigmine cannot be ascribed to a general behavioral activation, since the doses that increased avoidance responses did not affect or even depressed spontaneous locomotor activity. The same doses of treatment which increased avoidance responding, also induced, in the same strains, consistent enhancement of 4–7 Hz (theta) EEG band power and decrease of 7–12 Hz (alpha) band power. Results suggest that the effects induced by physostigmine on the EEG and on the shuttle-box performance of mice are related to the same neurochemical systems, and are dependent upon the interaction of the dose with specific strain sensitivity.
