Effects of Stress during Infancy on Tumor Development and Tumor Growth
A number of investigators have reported that stressing a variety of mammals by repeated electric shocks resulted in decreased resistance to cancer-producing agents, as well as an increase in the rate of development of spontaneous tumors. Other investigators have reported the opposite findings. By-and-large, however, these studies have lacked adequate controls and have depended on results from small groups of subjects. We used sufficiently large g…
Conditioned Avoidance Learning in Two Fish Species
Goldfish ( Carossius auratus) and Siamese fighting fish ( Betta splendens) were compared for learning ability in a dark-avoidance shuttle response with shock as the UCS. The goldfish were significantly superior in learning ability. It was suggested that differences in the response of these two species to novel, aversive stimulation may account for the observed differences in avoidance learning ability
