A simple design of shock-scrambler unit for studies on foot-shock elicited aggression in rats.
A simplified circuit design for fabricating a shock scrambler unit (SSU) is described in this note. This instrument finds application in research studies on aggression behaviour using rats for the experiments. In this experimental production of aggression, an aversive mood is generated in pair of rats kept in a test chamber by giving electric foot-shocks to them, and this evokes the fighting be...
متن کاملSex differences in shock thresholds in rats and gerbils and the day-night cycle
Sex differences in shock thresholds in relation to the day-night cycle were examined in rats and gerbils using a modification of the flinch-jump technique. In rats, males had higher thresholds than females in both day and night tests, but the magnitude of the difference was greater during the night tests. This effect arose because females tested at night had lower thresholds than females tested...
متن کاملSpatial proximity modulates the strength of motion opponent suppression elicited by locally paired dot displays.
Locally paired dot stimuli that contain opposing motion signals at roughly the same spatial locations (counter-phase stimuli) have been reported to produce percepts devoid of global motion. Counter-phase stimuli are also thought to elicit a reduced neural response at motion processing brain area MT/V5, an effect known as motion opponency. The current study examines the effect of vertical counte...
متن کاملEmotional and Social Behaviors Elicited by Electrical Stimulation of the Insula in the Macaque Monkey
Evidence from a large number of brain imaging studies has shown that, in humans, the insula, and especially its anterior part, is involved in emotions and emotion recognition. Typically, however, these studies revealed that, besides the insula, a variety of other cortical and subcortical areas are also active. Brain imaging studies are correlative in nature, and, as such, they cannot give indic...
متن کاملFacilitatory effect of phenobarbital on shock-elicited jumping behavior in rats.
Recently we found that the marked behavioral difference between isolated and grouped rats occurred under foot shock situations by measuring frequency of jumping behavior in rats (Nishikawa and Tanaka, 1978). We also postulated by the results of methamphetamine administration and the behavioral findings that catecholaminergic hyperactivity especially receptor supersensitivity might play a role i...
