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. ...
Olfactory and vomeronasal deafferentation of male hamsters: Histological and behavioral analyses
(Elsevier, 1977-05-06)
Deafferentation of the vomeronasal system by cutting the vomeronasal nerves severely impaired mating behavior in 44% of male hamsters over a 1-2 month period of postoperative testing, but the remaining males mated normally ...
Complexity effects in form detection
(Elsevier, 1977)
This study examines the effect of pattern complexity on the detectability of dotted target patterns presented in dotted visual noise. The effects of complexity on performance in this detection task were shown to be ...
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 ...
Coronal somatosensory unit responses in cats with dorsal column lesions
(Elsevier, 1972-09-29)
1. (1) Extensive chronic dorsal column (DC) lesions (greater than 90% of cross-sectional DC area) decrease the proportion of coronal somatosensory cells which respond to somatic stimuli, reduce the proportion of cells which ...
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 ...
Interactions of the horizontal and vertical human oculomotor systems: The saccadic systems
(Elsevier, 1972-01)
The human oculomotor system has been studied by numerous people for well over half a century. Since the visual system is our primary sensory input channel, it is important for us to know how information is processed by the ...
Stimulation of the gerbil's gustatory receptors by disaccharides
(Elsevier, 1976-07-16)
The gustatory responses from the chorda tympani nerve of the Mongolian gerbil, Meriones unguiculatus, were with 13 disaccharides. Sucrose was the most stimulatory sugar.The ability of fructosyl glycosides to stimulate amy ...
