Some Effects of ACTH 4-10 on Performance During a Serial Reaction Task

摘要

Eighteen subjects worked continuously for half an hour in a self-paced reaction task. Half of the subject were injected with ACTH 4—10 (30 mg/s.c.) and the other half with a placebo.nThe subjects injected with ACTH 4—10 showed a large) improvement in reaction time during the experimental ses¬sion than the placebo group. However, this effect dis¬appeared in a short retest, which was given half an hour after the experimental session.
