Abstract
Choline supplementation during the second half of the gestational peri od in rats permanently improves visuospatial memory. Choline availabil ity during this period also alters the turnover of choline and acetylc holine in the hippocampus in 3-4-week-old animals in a complex pattern consistent with the notion that cholinergic neurotransmission is enha nced by prenatal choline supplementation.
