Abstract
Chronic oral administration of cannabis extract to rats was examined for its residual effects on shuttle-box avoidance learning. In experiment 1 avoidance learning was assessed in rats that had been tested previosly on other behavioral tests. Chronic treatment (3 months) facilitated the learning of shuttle-box avoidance in cannabis-treated animals relative to vehicle controls. In experiment 2 very similar results were obtained in naive rats. These and other residual effects of chronic cannabis treatment are similar to the effects of hippocampal lesions.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
