Individual typological characteristics of rat's behavior in open-field and passive avoidance learning
The aim of this study was to compare the learning performance of Wistar rats in passive avoidance box and open field behavior. Animals were placed in the center of the open field and their behavior was manually recorded for 5 min. Two latency periods, first motion, and exit to the center, the number of inner and outer squares crossed, grooming activity, the number of rearing in the center of th...

متن کاملTime Course of Changes in Passive Avoidance and Y-maze Performance in Male Diabetic Rats
Diabetes mellitus is accompanied with disturbances in learning, memory, and cognitive skills in the human society and experimental animals. Therefore, this research study was conducted to evaluate time-dependent changes in passive avoidance and Y-maze performance in male diabetic rats. For this purpose, male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control and diabetic groups. For induction of di...
متن کاملFear and feeding in the nucleus accumbens shell: rostrocaudal segregation of GABA-elicited defensive behavior versus eating behavior.
This study examined localization of positive versus negative motivational functions mediated by GABA circuits within the accumbens shell. Microinjections of a GABA(A) agonist (0, 25, 75, and 225 ng/0.5 microl muscimol) in rostral shell sites elicited appetitive increases in eating behavior. In contrast, microinjections in caudal shell sites elicited defensive burying or paw-treading behavior. R...
متن کاملThe organization of defensive behavior elicited by optogenetic excitation of rat lateral or ventrolateral periaqueductal gray.
Rodents display characteristic defense responses to predators that are influenced by predatory imminence. The midbrain periaqueductal gray (PAG) serves an important role controlling these responses. The most influential model states that variations in defensive topography are due to distinct PAG regions: ventrolateral PAG (VLPAG) controls postencounter defense, such as freezing and immobility, ...
