Difference in learning and retention by Albino-Swiss mice. Part 2. Effect of some anxiolytic drugs.

According to the method described earlier (1), the effect of some anxiolytics on memory retention in "good" and "poor" learning mice was studied. While the classical benzodiazepine (diazepam) significantly improves performance of both sub-populations of mice, non-benzodiazepine anxiolytics worsen that of poor learners and triazolobenzodiazepines increase performance.
