In addition, our previous work reported the modulating effect of AVP on hippocampal neuronal activity. Thus, it was suggested that hippocampus may be one of the CNS sites mediating the enhancing effect of AVP on acquisition. As we know, the fimbria-fornix is the main afferent and efferent pathways of hippocampus. Accordingly,展开更多
