In amygdala-kindled rats a deficit in learning brightness discrimination was found. We concluded that this result provides a reliable basis for creating an animal model of cognitive dysfunctions in epileptics. Recently, a des-tyrosine D-amino acid substituted derivative of bovine beta-casein(1-5) was reported to exhibit anticonvulsant as well as antidepressant activity. Therefore, we tested the effect of this peptide on kindled seizures and the learning deficit after kindling. It was found that the peptide suppressed the duration of seizures whereas seizure severity was not influenced. Furthermore, the learning performance of peptide-treated rats was significantly higher than that of kindled controls.

dTyr-D-Phe3 (Pro-D-Phe-Pro-Gly) interacts specifically with amygdaloid-kindled seizures and is capable of preventing the learning deficit occurring after kindling.
