  Abstract:  VIEW PDF: MOTOR LEARNING AND MEMORY IN ANIMALS WITH EXPERIMENTALLY INDUCED DEPRESSION (NOTE II)

The effect of physical exercise on motor learning and memory in animals with experimentally induced depression was studied. Depression was induced using the Kelly method (1987), through bilateral olfactory bulbectomy. The control of depression was performed using the tail suspension test (Steru et al. 1985). We used 3 study groups, male rats. A control group (C), one with induced depression (I), and one with induced depression and trained for 28 days (II). The results obtained show a decrease in the learning capacity, without memory changes in group I. In group II we observed an increase in the learning capacity compared to the control group and group I, with a decrease in the memory capacity compared to controls and an increase in the memory capacity compared to group I. Physical exercise is a favorable factor that may contribute to the prevention of learning and memory difficulties in depression.
