title: [Interrelationship between immunologic and neurologic memory: learning ability of rats during immunostimulation].
abstract: Studies have been made on the effect of an immunostimulator - the complete Freund's adjuvant - upon the learning ability in Wistar rats for visual discrimination using food-obtaining and avoidance of the electric shock techniques. Injection of the adjuvant significantly increases learning ability provided negative reinforcement technique is used, but inhibits the former under the conditions of positive reinforcement. Analysis of the extinction of the conditioned reflexes yielded similar results. Possible relation of immunogenesis to the formation of memory is discussed.
