Partial reinforcement of avoidance and resistance to extinction in humans.
In anxiety, maladaptive avoidance behavior provides for near-perfect controllability of potential threat. There has been little laboratory-based treatment research conducted on controllability as a contributing factor in the transition from adaptive to maladaptive avoidance. Here, we investigated for the first time whether partial reinforcement rate, or the reliability of avoidance at controlli...
متن کاملIncreased Probability of Extinction Due to Decreased Genetic Effective Population Size: Experimental Populations of Clarkia Pulchella.
We established replicated experimental populations of the annual plant Clarkia pulchella to evaluate the existence of a causal relationship between loss of genetic variation and population survival probability. Two treatments differing in the relatedness of the founders, and thus in the genetic effective population size (Ne ), were maintained as isolated populations in a natural environment. Af...
متن کاملCocaine enhances resistance to extinction of responding for brain-stimulation reward in adult prenatally stressed rats.
The present experiment assessed whether prenatal stress (PS) can alter the ability of acute and chronic cocaine administration to increase and decrease the rewarding effectiveness of the medial forebrain bundle (MFB) using intracranial self-stimulation (ICSS), and also whether PS can affect the extinction of the MFB stimulation response. Adult male offspring of female rats that received PS or n...
متن کاملTRANSIENT DECREASED SERUM TESTOSTERONE AFTER EXPOSURE TO MUSTARD GAS
The effects of exposure to chemical weapons containing sulfur mustards on the serum levels of total and free testosterone. gonadotropins and prolactin was investigated in young Iranian men. In the first five weeks after injury both serum total and free testosterone were significantly decreased as compared to control values. Three of 13 men had total testosterone below 300 ng/dL and two of ...
متن کاملDecreased T Cell Response to Mitogen and Increased Anti-cytoplasmic Antibody in Drug-Free Schizophrenic Patients
Background: Apart from genetic and environmental factors, activation of autoreactive mechanisms has been proposed to play a role in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. In re-cent years, considerable work has been carried out to understand the role and contribution of the immune system in this disease. Objective: To investigate the T cell response to phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) and determine the se...
