Animals with impaired VN were observed with poor spatial navigation abilities. The purpose of this thesis is to study the effect of muscimol on the spatial recognition of rats. It was found that the neonatal diffusion of muscimol to the VN significantly affected the spatial recognition of rats during dead reckoning test. In the light probe test, which distal visual cues were available, the treated rats spent significantly less time searching for the food pellet (student's t-test: pDOI: 10.5353/th_b4854162 Subjects: Alkaloids - Physiological effectSpace perceptionRats - Physiology
