WENK                                                                                                                                                            Drs. Olton and Wenk are continuing their highly productive                      investigations of the neurochemical bases of learning and memory.               This project focuses particularly on the interactions between two               different neurotransmitter systems, and how they interact to                    influence memory.  Of particular interest are acetylcholine and                 serotonin, both of which have been shown to be profoundly                       important in different types, and phases, of learning.                                                                                                          These investigators are using a combination of behavioral and                   physiological techniques to study the neurochemical interactions                that underlie learned behavior.  In addition to contributing to                 our understanding of the "molecular mechanisms" of learning and                 memory, these experiments will also address a question of                       paramount importance:  Can these neurochemical interactions be                  enhanced or impaired to alter recovery of function after one                    system is damaged?   The answer is of extreme significance, for                 it could help to form the foundation of new treatment strategies                for people who have suffered memory and cognition losses as the                 result of brain damage caused by head injury.
