Diurnal Variation in Performance of Free-Operant Avoidance Behavior of Rats
Possible daily periodicity in experiments involving conditioned behaviors has not usually been investigated or controlled. The present experiment argues for such studies in that variation in the performance of a free-operant avoidance task by 30 rats was detected as a function of when during the 24-hr. day behavioral testing occurred. In terms of shocks avoided, performance was best in the middle of the dark phase of the day and worst late in the…
Mouse-Killing by Devibrissaed and Facially Anesthetized Rats
18 mouse-killing Long Evans male rats were devibrissaed and facially anesthetized to determine relative importance of facial tactual sensation in detection, pursuit, and killing behavior. With vibrissae clipped plus local anesthesia of the vibrissal pads, all rats attacked and killed mice with efficiency comparable to pretest baseline measures. Results were interpreted as indicating a nonsignificant role of vibrissal sensation in maintenance of t…
Prolonged Suppression of Irritable Aggression in Rats by Facial Anesthesia
Local anesthesia of the mystacial epidermis with Lidocaine HCl reliably decreased shock-elicited fighting in 8 pairs of mature male Long-Evans rats. The decrease in aggressive responding was approximately twice as great as that reported for devibrissaed rats. Subsequent fighting, 3-hr. post-injection, did not differ from control or pre-injection baselines. Recording of intense vocalization accompanying fighting yielded objective data comparable t…
