〔Abstract〕 Objective To explore the effect of different degree of hunger on spatial learning and memory ability of rats. Methods 84 healthy adult male SD rats were randomly divided into eight groups. The groups of A to G are treated with hunger for 6, 18 , 24, 30, 36, 42 h. The group H is treated as control. In addition, an experiment is carried out every six hours to group A and group H. The Morris Water Maze was used to conduct the behavior training of SD male rats, in-cluding its effects on spatial learning and memory ability of rats. Resu...
