摘要: Background: Aberrant N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-mediated glutamatergic transmission has been implicated in schizophrenia. We studied whether transient inhibition of NMDA receptor activity during early postnatal development would produce a behavioral phenotype resembling that individuals who are susceptible to develop Methods: Rat pups were given injections the channel blocker MK801 on days 7 through 10. This period is akin prenatal second trimester primate development. Cognitive function was tested adulthood. Results: Treatment with impaired cognitive flexibility and working memory. The impairment due increased perseverative behavior. did not affect locomotor or recognition Conclusions: These results suggest brief disruption receptors sensitive cortical sufficient selective deficits relevant
