Abstract excerpt

Rats of the inbred strains DA/Han and BDE/Han were compared on two complex spatial learning tasks, a spatial reference memory task in a 16-unit multiple T-maze and a spatial working memory task in an eight-arm radial-maze. In addition, sizes of hippocampal mossy fiber terminal fields were measure...
