Acute but not chronic activation of the NMDA-coupled glycine receptor with D-cycloserine facilitates learning and retention
Abstract
The memory-enhancing potential of D-cycloserine (cycloserine) a partial agonist at the glycine recognition site on the NMDA receptor, was evaluated in mice using a thirst-motivated linear maze learning task. Immediate acute post-training injections (10, 20 and 80 mg/kg) significantly improved retention relative to vehicle-injected controls. Retention was also facilitated if cycloserine (3 and 10 mg/kg but not 20 or 40 mg/kg) was administered 20 min before the retention test. Acquisition of the habit was accelerated if cycloserine (3 mg/kg) was injected 20 min before the training session. Acute post-training injections failed to facilitate retention if mice were pretreated with cycloserine (3 mg/kg) b.i.d. for 15 days before training on the maze. These results indicate that acute cycloserine administration can enhance consolidation and retrieval of memory but that desensitization may occur with chronic exposure to the drug.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
