| Abstract |
These experiments examined the effects of d-amphethamine on retention of one-trial inhibitory (passive) avoidance training in mice. Water-deprived mice were pretrained to lick from a water spout at the end of a darkened compartment. Footshock was administered during licking after 4, 6, or 7 days of pretraining. Retention performance (latency to lick) was measured 24 h after training. The effects on memory of posttraining amphetamine varied not only with amphetamine dose but also with the amount of pretraining. In animals pretraining for 7 days, 0.3 and 1.0 mg/kg but not 0.03, 0.1, or 3.0 mg/kg posttraining amphetamine significantly enhanced later retention performance. In mice pretrained for 6 days, 1 mg/kg amphetamine also enhanced retention performance. However, in mice pretrained for only 4 days, 1 mg/kg amphetamine impaired later retention erd for only 4 days, 1 mg/kg amphetamine impaired later retention performance. These results are consistent with the view that posttraining treatment may affect memory storage processes by interacting with training-related arousal levels. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 December 2004.
All research outputs
#7,490,851
of 22,896,955 outputs
Outputs from Psychopharmacology
#2,099
of 5,353 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#3,525
of 23,194 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Psychopharmacology
#5
of 22 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,896,955 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,353 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.6. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 23,194 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 22 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
