Trace conditioning is impaired by lesions to dorsal hippocampus, as well as by treatment with the muscarinic acetylcholine antagonist scopolamine. However, the role of muscarinic receptors within hippocampus has received little attention. The present study examined the effects of intra‐hippocampal infusion of scopolamine (30 µg/side) in an appetitive (2 vs. 10 s) trace conditioning procedure using sucrose pellets as the unconditioned stimulus (US). Locomotor activity (LMA) was examined in a different apparatus. Intra‐hippocampal scopolamine reduced responding to the 2 s trace conditioned stimulus (CS). Intra‐hippocampal scopolamine similarly depressed responding within the inter‐stimulus interval (ISI) at both 2 and 10 s trace intervals, but there was no such effect in the inter‐trial interval. There was also some overall reduction in responding when the US was delivered; significant at the 10 s but not at the 2 s trace interval. A similar pattern of results to that seen in response to the CS during acquisition was shown drug‐free (in the 5 s post‐CS) in the extinction tests of conditioned responding. LMA was increased under scopolamine. The results suggest that nonspecific changes in activity or motivation to respond for the US cannot explain the reduction in trace conditioning as measured by reduced CS responding and in the ISI. Rather, the findings of the present study point to the importance of associative aspects of the task in determining its sensitivity to the effects of scopolamine, suggesting that muscarinic receptors in the hippocampus are important modulators of short‐term working memory.
