Abstract:
Aim To investigate the effects of midazolam and penehyclidine hydrochloride on learning and memory function of mice.Methods According to stratified random block design,80 KM mice were divided into 4 groups:midazolam 1 mg?kg-1(group M,n=20),penehyclidine hydrochloride 0.2 mg?kg-1(group P,n=20),midazolam 1 mg?kg-1+penehyclidine hydrochloride 0.2 mg?kg-1(group M+P,n=20)and control group(group NS,n=20),and 20 mice in every group were divided randomly into exper-iments of testing memory acquisition(n=10)and memory consolidation(n=10)further.To evaluate the behavioral alteration with these agents,a step-through passive avoidance test was used.Mice were administrated agents before training section for testing memory acquisition,and administrated agents immediately after training section for testing memory consolidation.The step-through latencies and the number of errors on 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7 day after the training were recorded.Results Midazolam impaired memory acquisition and consolidation when administrated alone or in combination with penehyclidine hydrochloride.Administration of midazolam combinated with penehyclidine hydrochloride did not worsen the effect on memory acquisition,but worsen the effect on memory consolidation obviously.Furthermore,administration of midazolam combinated with penehyclidine hydrochloride impaired memory function persisting longer than that of administration of midazolam alone.Conclusion Administration of midazolam and penehyclidine hydrochloride would result in inhibiting learning and memory function of mice.
