dc.description.abstract	Rats were trained to asymptotic running speed in a straight runway and were then given pretraining with either escapable shock, inescapable shock, or no shock. Subjects were then tested in the runway in the presence of odors from donor rats receiving escapable, inescapable, or no shock. It was suggested on the basis of the results and previous research that inescapable shock stress odor may serve as a conditioned alarm or arousal cue, while escapable shock stress odor may serve as an unconditioned alarm pheromone with highly specific communicative content.	en
