Abstract
For both male and female Sprague-Dawley albino rats, shock detection thresholds decreased as a function of age over a range of 90-660 days of age. Shock escape thresholds also varied inversely with age. Implications for studies of age-related learning changes were discussed.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
