Funded Activity Summary

The role of dopamine in memory consolidation and retrieval in the day-old chick. This project will investigate the effect of the neurotransmitter dopamine on consolidation and retrieval of memory in the day-old chick. To date investigation in this area has indicated that the neurotransmitter is capable of both facilitating and impairing memory functioning. Clarification of the role of dopamine in the cascade of biochemical events following training will contribute to our understanding of the biochemical mechanisms of memory formation and retrieval and may have useful applications in human amnesias in which dopaminergic transmission is either compromised such as in Parkinson's disease or excessive such as in schizophrenia.
