摘要
Working memory is a construct that contains goal maintenance, interference control and memory capacity domains. Spatial working memory in presence of conflicting stimuli requires segregation and maintenance of the relevant information about a goal over a short period of time. Besides the prefrontal cortex, the hippocampus is an anatomical substrate for the working memory. We hypothesized that in a highly challenging task, where spatial stimuli are in a conflict and only some of them describe the goal location, the spatial working memory will be strongly dependant on the hippocampus. To verify this, we used an allothetic place avoidance alternation task (APAAT). Performance of this task demands a small number of entries and a long maximum time avoided between consecutive entries to the shock sector. These parameters reflected both domains of working memory. The experiment was conducted on hippocampal lesioned (HIPP n = 12) and sham-operated (CTRL n = 8) rats trained in four APAAT days, each consisting of four 5-minute stages: habituation, stage1 (st1) and stage2 (st2) of memory training, a 5-minute break followed by a retrieval test. The position of the shock sector was changed each day. The HIPP rats were impaired on both stages of memory training, whereas CTRL rats presented significant memory improvement on stage2. In HIPP rats the cognitive skill learning measured as shock per entrance ratio was compromised. Hippocampal lesions did not impair locomotor activity. In summary, even slight bilateral damage to the hippocampus is blocking working memory formation in a difficult task.
