title: [Effects of the neurogenesis stimulator Ro 25-6981 upon formation of spatial skill in adult rats depend on the term of its administration and the animals' ability to learn].
abstract: Effect of administration of selective N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist Ro 25-6981 on learning and memory in a dose which is known to stimulate neoneurogenesis was assessed in adult rats with different abilities to formation of spatial skills in different time periods after the antagonist injection. Wistar male rats were trained to find hidden platform in the Morris water maze for 5 consecutive days. Rats' learning ability for spatial skill formation was evaluated depending on platform speed achievements. In re-training sessions (cues and platform location changed), it was found that all rats received Ro 25-6981 13 days before the re-training demonstrated impaired spatial memory. At the same time the inhibitor injected 29 days before re-training selectively facilitated the formation of spatial skill in animals with initially low learning abilities.
