Cooperation Between Memory Systems: Acetylcholine Release in the Amygdala Correlates Positively With Performance on a Hippocampus-Dependent Task.

The present experiment examined the relationship between release of acetylcholine (ACh) in the amygdala and performance on a hippocampus-dependent spatial working memory task. Using in vivo microdialysis, the authors measured ACh release in rats during testing on a spontaneous alternation task. Amyg...
