Cholecystokinin (CCK) modulates learning and memory processes in mammals. The main objective of this work was to study the effect of two cholecystokinin receptor antagonists (CCKA antagonist devazepide and CCKB antagonist PD135158) on feed memory processes in Japanese quail. Memorization of colored food was measured by comparing the feeding behavior of 6- to 8-day-old quails during two successive sessions of 10 min after a 30-min fast in the test box, intersession interval: 24 h. The CCKA antagonist devazepide (0.1 mg/kg, b.wt) injected after the first session appears to disrupt feed memory formation. The CCKB antagonist PD135158 at the same dose induced a similar trend, but no significant effect on feed memorization could be measured. It is suggested that CCKA antagonist inhibits feed memory processes.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007211	Indoles	Benzopyrroles with the nitrogen at the number one carbon adjacent to the benzyl portion, in contrast to ISOINDOLES which have the nitrogen away from the six-membered ring.
D008536	Meglumine	1-Deoxy-1-(methylamino)-D-glucitol. A derivative of sorbitol in which the hydroxyl group in position 1 is replaced by a methylamino group. Often used in conjunction with iodinated organic compounds as contrast medium.	Methylglucamine
D008568	Memory	Complex mental function having four distinct phases: (1) memorizing or learning, (2) retention, (3) recall, and (4) recognition. Clinically, it is usually subdivided into immediate, recent, and remote memory.
D011949	Receptors, Cholecystokinin	Cell surface proteins that bind cholecystokinin (CCK) with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behavior of cells. Cholecystokinin receptors are activated by GASTRIN as well as by CCK-4; CCK-8; and CCK-33. Activation of these receptors evokes secretion of AMYLASE by pancreatic acinar cells, acid and PEPSIN by stomach mucosal cells, and contraction of the PYLORUS and GALLBLADDER. The role of the widespread CCK receptors in the central nervous system is not well understood.

D002766	Cholecystokinin	A peptide, of about 33 amino acids, secreted by the upper INTESTINAL MUCOSA and also found in the central nervous system. It causes gallbladder contraction, release of pancreatic exocrine (or digestive) enzymes, and affects other gastrointestinal functions. Cholecystokinin may be the mediator of satiety.
