  • Title: Physiological significance of neurohypophyseal hormones in memory processes.
    Author: van Wimersma Greidanus TB, de Wied D.
    Journal: Acta Psychiatr Belg; 1980; 80(5):721-7. PubMed ID: 7195141.
    Abstract:
    Peptides of the neurohypophyseal system play an important role in processes related to memory. Their physiological importance in this respect has been established by: 1. rats from which the posterior lobe of the pituitary had been removed; 2. Brattleboro rats which lack the ability to synthesize vasopressin; 3. rats in which the amount of centrally available neurohypophyseal hormones had been reduced by treatment with antisera to these peptides. All three groups of animals display disturbances in memory function.
