Effect of caffeine on the memory of the mouse

Albino mice were injected i.p. with caffeine (27.9 mg/kg) 10 min pre-trial. The mice had no trial retention (300-s period) after 24h. This result suggests that caffeine, at this dose, would upsets some mechanism involved in memory processes. No correlation is observed between serotonin (5-HT) increa...

Sumario:Albino mice were injected i.p. with caffeine (27.9 mg/kg) 10 min pre-trial. The mice had no trial retention (300-s period) after 24h. This result suggests that caffeine, at this dose, would upsets some mechanism involved in memory processes. No correlation is observed between serotonin (5-HT) increase and caffeine's effect on retention. © 1979 Springer-Verlag.
