Thyrotropin-releasing hormone: physiological concomitants of behavioral excitation.

Two doses (10 microng and 100 microng) of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) or saline were injected intraventricularly in rabbits pretreated with either saline, pentobarbital or phenobarbital. Behavior, EEG patterns, respiration rate and heart rate were monitored for 100 min posttreatment. TRH significantly altered all physiological indices except heart rate in both barbiturate- and saline-pretreated animals. The results support the contention that TRH modified central functioning by direct action. Results are discussed in terms of barbiturate antagonism and excitatory effects of TRH.

Memory traces: experimental separation by cycloheximide and electroconvulsive shock.

Mice given cycloheximide or saline were trained with a single trial. Electroconvulsive shock was administered to both groups at various times after training. Cycloheximide led to memory that decayed with time. Cycloheximide plus electroconvulsive shock produced complete amnesia at times when neither treatment alone produced amnesia. Only two types of processes appear to support memory storage in our study.
