Abstract
The role of the septal region in passive avoidance (step-through) lear ning was studied by administering 15 mu g/0.5 mu l of scopolamine intr aseptally to rats, together with an i.p. injection of 2 mg/kg of diaze pam to the same animals. The combined treatment provoked a severe impa irment in retention of the learning situation, whereas animals which r eceived either scopolamine or diazepam alone did not show any deficit.
