37 rats, 18 susceptible to audiogenio seizures, were trained in a runway with a white curtain for 62 trials on water reinforcement (S D ). Then 15 additional S D trials were interspersed with 15 trials on which the curtain was black (S A ); different subgroups received (a) audiogenic seizures, (b) subconvulsive grid shock, or (c) simple delay in the goal box. A control group received no S A trials. Ss that received audiogenic seizures stopped entering the goal box after the 2nd seizure. Shocked Ss stopped after the 1st shock. The failure of the audiogenic Ss to keep running led to the rejection of the hypothesis that rats have amnesia for this seizure situation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
