| abstractText | Lurcher mutant mice alternated above chance at 0-, but not at 3- and 10-min retention intervals, whereas normal mice alternated at all the retention intervals. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that the cerebellum plays a role in spatial memory, perhaps by means of cerebello-limbic and cerebello-cortical interactions. There were no differences between the groups either in an emergence test of anxiety or in an inclined screen test of motor coordination. These results indicate that lurchers show no disinhibitory tendencies in the emergence test and are not affected in all tests measuring motor coordination. |
