Abstract
Shuttle-box avoidance conditioning with aversive midbrain stimulation, in the rat, was considerably inferior to that observed with aversive foot shock. However, rats were capable of efficient passive avoidance when exposed to aversive midbrain stimulation. Extensive training, amphetamine, and pretraining with aversive foot shock failed to facilitate shuttle-box avoidance learning with midbrain stimulation.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
