(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Why animals learn and how they do so has long been a topic of inquiry and research. Recently, King, Joynes, Meagher and Grau (1996) showed that exposure to a mild aversive event (a brief shock) can enhance both learning ...
-
(1991)We have previously shown that exposure to three brief (2 sec) 3.0 mA shocks elicits an opioid hypoalgesia, and that exposure to longer (75 sec) tailshocks elicits a nonopioid hypoalgesia in spinalized rats. The present ...
-
