Involvement of neurotransmitters in urocortin-induced passive avoidance learning in mice

The results obtained demonstrate that urocortin is able to improve learning and memory and also retrieval processes in a passive avoidance learning in mice. D2, muscarinic cholinergic, alfa-adrenergic, CRF, serotonergic (5HT 1-2), GABA B receptors are involved in the consolidation of the passive avoidance response.
