  Abstract:
Rationale: Some investigations have shown that the glutamate receptors play a critical role in cognitive processes such as learning and anxiety. Objectives: The possible involvement of the cholinergic system of the dorsal hippocampus in the anxiolytic-like response induced by MK-801, NMDA receptor antagonist, was investigated in the present study. Methods: Male Wistar rats were used in the elevated plus maze apparatus to test the parameters: open arm time (
