Abstract
Pyrithioxine (40 mg/kg; 2 mg/kg) not only causes an increase in general activity, but also has a marked positive effect on the learning behavior of goldfish. Amphetamine (2 mg/kg) causes a similar enhancement of learning but has less pronounced effects on the overall activity. With Fencamphamine (2 mg/kg) there is no increase in activation, although some improvement in learning is manifested.
