Abstract

Object recognition test has been a valuable asset in unravelling the role on nitric oxide (NO) in learning and memory processes. Several studies indicate that upregulation of inhibition of NO is mainly involved in the acquisition and early consolidation of object recognition memory. As with most neurotransmitters systems, caution needs to be paid with respect to dosing. Particularly, excessive production of NO is neurotoxic, while lower levels of NO exert neuroprotective action.
