This project will investigate the effect of the neurotransmitter dopamine on consolidation and retrieval of memory in the day-old chick. To date investigation in this area has indicated that the neurotransmitter is capable of both facilitating and impairing memory functioning. Clarification of the role of dopamine in the cascade of biochemical events following training will contribute to our understanding of the biochemical mechanisms of memory formation and retrieval and may have useful applications in human amnesias in which dopaminergic transmission is either compromised such as in Parkinson's disease or excessive such as in schizophrenia.

本研究将探讨神经递质多巴胺对一日龄雏鸡记忆巩固和恢复的影响。到目前为止，在这一领域的研究表明，神经递质能够促进和损害记忆功能。澄清的作用，多巴胺在级联的生化事件训练后，将有助于我们理解的生化机制的记忆形成和检索，并可能有有用的应用在人类健忘症中，多巴胺能传递要么受到损害，如帕金森氏病或过度，如精神分裂症。
