γ‐hydroxybutyric acid (GHB), a “club drug,” is abused for its euphoric, sedative, and anabolic effects. GHB use and abuse is most prevalent among adolescents and young adults. Most GHB users report amnesia. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that GHB treatment in female adolescent rats causes deficits in spatial learning and memory. Adolescent female rats were treated daily with GHB (100 mg/kg) for 5 consecutive days. Control rats received isovolumetric saline. Experimental and… CONTINUE READING
