Systemic NMDA antagonist CGP-37849 produces non-specific impairment in a working memory task: the effect does not resemble those of AP5 and of lesions of the hippocampus or fornix.

The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist CGP-37849 (D,L-(E)-2-amino-4-methyl-5-phosphono-3-pentenoic acid), administered i.p. (2.0 and 4.0 mg/kg), impaired rats' performance in a delayed matching-to-sample working memory task. This task is sensitive to hippocampal/fornix lesions or i...
