Abstract

Rats were trained with neither hemisphere depressed, were depressed in one hemisphere 3, 15, or 180 min after training and were tested with neither hemisphere depressed. Retention was impaired with the 3-min but not the 15 or 180-min interval. Other rats were trained with neither hemisphere depressed, were depressed in one hemisphere 3 min after training and were depressed in either the same or opposite hemisphere during testing. Impairment increased relative to retention tested under normal cortical conditions and was greater with depression in the opposite than in the same hemisphere. The data were taken to indicate that depression of a single hemisphere after training interfered with memory storage and depression during testing interfered with memory storage and stimulus control.
