Yeast ribonucleic acid: Effects on learned behavior in the rat

Abstract

Rats chronically treated with yeast ribonucleic acid showed enhanced acquisition of an escape response, thus replicating a previously reported effect. The nature of the enhancement, however, as well as the results from a food-rewarded discrimination task, does not suggest that yeast ribonucleic acid improves the learning or memory processes in the rat.
