Galanin is a 29/30 amino acid neuropeptide that has been shown to impair learning and memory task performance and also have roles in somatosensation, stress responses, sexual behavior, and feeding regulation. However, little is known about galanin involvement in higher cognitive processes, especially executive processes. Perseveration is a classic sign of frontal cortex damage and failure of executive control. Galanin has been shown to disrupt the performance of maze delayed alternation tasks and the operant, spatial delayed nonmatch-to-position (DNMTP) working memory task, tests especially sensitive to perseverative responding. To better understand this potential involvement of galanin in executive control, the present study tested the hypothesis that galanin induces perseveration. The first experiment examined the effects of galanin (10, 20 μg i.c.v.) on the performance of a simple operant response alternation task in which stimuli were assigned to one of two spatially distinct locations to produce extended sequences of presentations to one location, separated by a 10-s intertrial interval. The second experiment looked at the effects of galanin (5, 20 μg i.c.v.) on the performance of non-delayed match-to-position and nonmatch-to-position conditional discrimination operant tasks in which a minimal 1.0 s time interval separated responses. Finally, the effects of galanin (10, 20 μg i.c.v.) on delayed match-to-position (DMTP) performance were examined to determine whether response alternation (i.e., nonmatching) was critical to observing a galanin-induced impairment in this task. Galanin reduced the rate of trial completion in all the tasks, but did not alter simple or conditional discrimination accuracy. Galanin (10 μg) impaired DMTP performance in a delay-independent manner. Together, these data suggest that galanin does not produce perseveration, but are consistent with a galanin-induced decrease in reinforcer strength.
