Abstract
Swiss albino mice were trained to take the food from the food magazine in a conditioning chamber. Light for 10 sec acted as a conditioning stimulus. When the mice were fully trained, they were injected intraperitoneally by a brain extract from untrained mice which Puromycin was administered intracranially. After the injection of the extract of Puromycin affected brains, the performance of the trained mice in the experimental space decreased almost to the performance of untrained animals.
