Intracerebroventricular administration of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) disturbed the learning by rats of the location of a platform submerged in a water pool. When the platform was removed from the pool, VIP injection produced marked impairment of the ability to find a previously learned location in the pool. This spatial memory impairment caused by VIP was restored by peripheral pre-administration of cerulein.Key words: vasoactive intestinal peptide, cerulein, Morris water maze task, memory, learning.
