Effect of scopolamine on maze learning performance in humans.
Scopolamine was administered orally to volunteers who were required to learn a digit memory task and a tactile maze task. Comparison of their performance with that under control drugs suggests that blockage of central cholinergic synapses may have a larger effect on spatial memory than on nonspatial memory. Subjects tended to make more errors under scopolamine and to insert extra turns in drawings of the maze.
