Stress induced grooming in the rat -- An endorphin mediated syndrome
(Elsevier, 1979-07)
Exposure of adult male Sprague--Dawley rats to a non-traumatic noise-light stress procedure subsequently increased grooming behavior in a novel environment. The grooming syndrome was marginally facilitated by adrenalectomy ...
Deficit in active avoidance learning in rats following penicillin injection into hippocampus
(Elsevier, 1971-06)
Penicillin was found to cause epileptiform (spike) activity when injected into the hippocampus of male rats. Animals so prepared were found to be severely impaired in the acquisition of a two-way active avoidance task. ...
Branchial ventilation rates of cataleptic goldfish (Carassius auratus) and the effects of light and electric shock
(Elsevier, 1972-03)
Inverted, cataleptic goldfish showed an increase in ventilation rate over a 20 min period. The time-dependent increase in respiratory movement was initially suppressed when a 10 sec light or a 0.1 sec shock was presented ...
Tail pinch induced stress-arousal facilitates brain stimulation reward
(Elsevier, 1979-01)
Adult male Sprague Dawley rats with chronic access to self stimulation were subjected to handling, tail pinch, or left undisturbed. Tail pinch increased responding for positive reinforcement while the other conditions did ...

Central injection of substance P elicits grooming behavior and motor inhibition in mice
(Elsevier, 1979-04)
Substance P undecapeptide (SP) was injected into the lateral ventricles of adult male Swiss-Webster mice. Two behaviors were observed after peptide. SP increased grooming in a naloxone non-reversible manner and reduced ...
Progesterone: Examination of its postulated inhibitory actions on lordosis during the rat estrous cycle
(Elsevier, 1976-09)
Three experiments tested whether the inhibitory effects of progesterone could be of physiological significance in regulating the duration of behavioral estrus in female rats. In animals displaying 5 day estrous cycles, a ...
On drinkometers: Problems and an inexpensive photocell solution
(Elsevier, 1971-12)
Electronic contact switches may interfere with measurements of taste discrimination and also the ability to utilize physiological recording or stimulation techniques simultaneously. An inexpensive and simply constructed ...
