Regarding stress-evoked memory impairment, previous studies identified that memory impairment in the novel object recognition (NOR) test and passive avoidance situation evoked by a RRS protocol were inhibited by treatment with AT1 receptor antagonists in rats (Braszko et al., 2013; Wincewicz and Braszko, 2014; Wincewicz et al., 2016). This evidence concerns the gene AGTR1 and memory impairment.
