Abstract:Daily stimulation of sites on the dorsum of leopard frogs can result in an enhancement of a leg-wiping reflex. This enhancement, while long lasting, is not specific, i.e., the eliciting of one reflex sensitizes reflexes of other limbs. Animals which receive handling each day but which are not stimulated also demonstrate an increased frequency of reflex elicitation though animals which don't receive daily handling do not. This, coupled with seasonal variations in responsivity suggested that nonspecific factors … Show more
