Abstract | We proposed that mitral cell [beta]1-adrenoceptor activation mediates rat pup odor preference learning. Here we evaluate [beta]1-, [beta]2-, [alpha]1-, and [alpha]2-adrenoceptor agonists in such learning. The [beta]1-adrenoceptor agonist, dobutamine, and the [alpha]1-adrenoceptor agonist, phenylephrine, induced learning, and both exhibited an inverted U-curve dose-response relationship to odor preference learning. Phenylephrine-induced learning occurred in the presence of propranolol to prevent indirect activation of [beta]-adrenoceptors. [alpha]1-Adrenoceptor mediation may represent a novel mechanism inducing learning or may increase cAMP in mitral cells via indirect activation of GABA[subscript B] receptors. Neither the [beta]2-adrenoceptor agonist, salbutamol, nor the [alpha]2-adrenoceptor agonist, clonidine, induced learning. (Contains 6 figures.) (Author). |
