Effects of cholinergic drugs on delayed match-to-sample performance of rhesus monkeys

Penetar, David M., McDonough, John H.·1983·Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior

Abstract

Three adult rhesus monkeys were trained to stable performance baselines on a delayed match-to-sample (DMS) procedure. Subject-initiated trials resulted in brief presentations of a sample color stimulus (red, green, or blue) with matching performance tested after retention intervals of 0, 4, 8, and 16 seconds. The effects of graded doses of atropine SO4, benactyzine HCl and physostigmine salicylate on performance were studied. Only atropine produced a clear interaction between drug and retention interval with the greatest impairments being observed at the longest delays. Benactyzine only affected overall error rates, while physostigmine did not disrupt matching accuracy. The two highest doses of each compound produced reliable elevations in session times and drug-specific changes in the pattern of performance. The results with atropine confirm and extend previously reported work with scopolamine indicating a critical role for cholinergic mechanisms in short-term memory.

  • Pharmacological blockade of muscarinic cholinergic receptors impairs performance in delayed match to sample tasks in non-human primates and humans.

    “This is consistent with some data showing that pharmacological blockade of muscarinic cholinergic receptors impairs performance in delayed match to sample tasks in non-human primates (Penetar and McDonough, 1983; Miller and Desimone, 1993) and humans (Robbins et al., 1997).”

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.
