Sodium pentobarbital and habituation-acquisition and transfer between states
نویسنده
چکیده
Subanesthetic doses of sodium pentobarbital impaired, but did not prevent, the acquisition of behavioral habituation. Animals habituated in a saline state showed transfer of habituation when later tested in a drugged condition. Animals habituated while drugged and then tested under saline conditions, showed much less transfer of habituation, and more rats showed state-dependent habituation as the drug dose during acquisition of habituation was increased.

Comparison effect of pentobarbital sodium with chloral hydrate anesthesia on post-ischemic damage in an experimental model of focal cerebral ischemia
Introduction: Anesthetic agents, blood pressure, arterial pH and blood gases have found to influence on the pathophysiology of experimental stroke. Despite, there are very few comparative studies about effects of anesthetic agents in animal model of cerebral ischemia. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effects of chloral hydrate and pentobarbital anesthesia, as comparative study, on...
متن کاملState-dependent or "dissociated" Learning Produced with Pentobarbital.
Rats were trained to escape from shook in a T maze. A response learned by S while it was drugged with 25 mg/kg sodium pentobarbital failed to appear if S was subsequently tested while not drugged. Conversely, a response learned by S while undrugged did not occur if S was tested while drugged. In both cases performance of the response was dependent upon reinstatement of the drug condition presen...

Influence of three different stocking densities, vitamin C supplementation of Daphnia spp. and feeding practice (i.e. mechanical, hand) on the success of dry feed habituation of pond reared pikeperch juveniles was investigated through one month trial. Pond reared pikeperch juveniles were harvested 42 days post-fertilisation (mean individual weight 1.1 ± 0.3g) and stocked into the experim...
متن کاملEffects of Bilateral Caloric Habituation on Nystagmus Responses of the Cat. Am-64-14.
It has been suggested that the decline (habituation) of the nystagmus response to repeated vestibular stimulation is a form of learning in that it possesses the necessary features of a learned behavior-acquisition, retention, and transfer (Halstead, 1935). Acquisition of habituation is evidenced through the progressive reduction of the response with repeated stimulation, while retention has bee...
