Resumen

Las ratas deben alimentarse de forma adaptativa, elegir comidas seguras y evitar comidas venenosas. El paradigma de transmisión social de preferencias alimenticias es útil para estudiar el aprendizaje y la memoria. Algunos estudios han encontrado que las asociaciones que se forman en ese paradigma son ejemplos de memoria declarativa. La escopolamina produce interferencia en el aprendizaje y en la consolidación de las memorias en diferentes tareas. En este experimento evaluamos el efecto de una dosis de la droga sobre la memoria formada en varios ensayos en este paradigma. En tres grupos evaluamos el efecto de administrar salina o escopolamina con un grupo control que no recibió tratamiento. Los resultados mostraron que la dosis de escopolamina interfirió con la consolidación de una serie de ensayos en la transmisión de preferencia. Discutimos el efecto en relación a diferentes estudios que utilizaron diversas tareas. Los resultados apoyan que la escopolamina deterioró la consolidación de la transmisión social de preferencia.
