Abstract
The effect of handling-induced seizures on passive avoidance behavior was investigated in the gerbil. In the first experiment, ictal activity immediately before Day 1 training significantly impaired retention on Day 2; after additional training on Day 2, retention was normal on Day 3. In the second experiment, a 24-hr interval was allowed between seizure testing and passive avoidance training. No difference between seizing and nonseizing groups was seen during the Day 2 training or Day 3 retention trials. Therefore, the Day 2 impairment in the first experiment was attributed to the immediate effect of the seizure on Day 1 learning. It was suggested that the poor performance of some gerbils in passive avoidance may be attributed to pretraining ictal activity.
