Penland, Heath R. (1997)Prior research shows that very intense noises can produce antinociception in awake rats. Experiment 1 examined the antinociceptive effects of a tone and a noise at various intensity levels on awake and pentobarbital ...

Dekle, Dawn J. (1989)This study investigates the circumstances under which people use a holistic (overall similarity) or an analytic (feature representation) mode of processing in a concept learning task. Three experiments were performed on ...
-
Huie, John Russell (2009-05-15)Previous research in our laboratory has shown that the spinal cord is capable of a simple form of instrumental learning. Spinally transected rats that receive controllable shock to an extended hindlimb exhibit a progressive ...
-
Washburn, Stephanie Nicole (2009-05-15)Research has shown that exposure to just 6 minutes of uncontrollable shock 24 hours following contusion injury impairs locomotor recovery and leads to greater tissue loss at the injury epicenter. Uncontrollable shock is ...

Washburn, Stephanie Nicole (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Spinal cord neurons can support a simple form of instrumental learning that can be used to assess behavioral potential (plasticity) within this system. In this paradigm, subjects completely transected at the second thoracic ...

Bopp, Anne Caroline (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Prior studies have shown that exposure to uncontrollable stimulation can have a variety of adverse consequences on plasticity. For example, as little as 30 min of uncontrollable shock to the tail disrupts both the capacity ...
-
Johnson, Robin Ranee (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Neurodegenerative diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS), are adversely affected by both stress and inflammation. Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus infection is an excellent animal model of MS, allowing examination ...

Janjua, Kamran (1995)Previous research has shown that spinal rats can learn a flexion response to avoid shock. Instituting a response-shock contingency could alter behavior by inducing long-term potentiation (LTP), an NMDA-mediated phenomenon. ...
-
Lee, Kuan Hsien (2013-08-08)Prior work has shown that spinal neurons are capable of discriminating between temporally regular and temporally irregular stimulation. These effects have been observed using an in vivo assay of spinal plasticity based ...

Allen, Andrea R. (1991)In both experiments, naltrexone attenuated the baseline tail-flick latencies. This opioid analgesia maybe due to either restraint stress or a conditioned association between the context and the shock. In the first case, ...
