The results were highly significant in that the d -AP5 treated animals took much longer to learn the location of the platform, spending much less time than the controls in the correct quadrant of the pool [ 36 ]. d -AP5-treated animals did not show deficits in a visual discrimination test suggesting a role for NMDA receptors specifically in spatial learning, which is thought to be a hippocampus-based phenomenon.
