[Recovery of memory impaired during learning in chickens: reversal of amnesia induced by blockers of protein synthesis].

Administration of protein synthesis inhibitors (PSI) produced an obvious amnesia in chicks (20-25% of avoidance responses). A "reminder" treatment: giving of environmental clues presented during learning, recovered of the learned avoidance response up to level of the control animals (75-80%). The data obtained suggest a possibility of memory recovery following the "reminder" treatment.
