Retrograde amnesia: effects of handling and microwave radiation.
Rats that were irradiated with microwaves immediately after the training trial in a one-trial shock-avoidance learning task retained the conditioned avoidance response 24 hours later. However, rats that were handled a few minutes each day for 3 days before the experiment did not retain the response, although they were capable of learning in a later test.
