[Study of the role of different types of glutamate receptors in spatial memory in rats].
A comparative study was performed to assess effects of different antagonists of glutamate receptors on spatial discrimination of rats in 8-arm radial and water mazes. Noncompetitive NMDA receptor blocker MK-801 in the dose 0.10 mg/kg and higher impaired the accuracy of performance in radial maze, whereas in the doses 0.05--0.30 mg/kg in water maze. Quisqualate IAMPA- and 2-amino-4-phosphonobutyrate (2-APB) I antagonists glutamate diethyl ester (250--500 mg/kg) and 2-APB (50--100 mg/kg), respectively, only increased time to complete radial maze performance and failed to alter choice accuracy. Both antagonists at the same doses did not affect performance of water maze task. The involvement of each type of glutamate receptors in different stages of spatial discrimination process in rats was discussed.
