2022年2月12日 · I had to re-read the Richter paper a couple of times to digest it, and from my understanding, the differences in swimming time was in the same (first) experiment. The tweak to the experiment was where, instead of using domesticated rats, they used hybrid rats ("crosses between domesticated and wild rats"). References. Richter, C. P. (1957).

2013年8月15日 · Here we evaluated ghrelin response to stress in rats after ovariectomy and during estradiol benzoate (EB) therapy and compared results of males and females, to know whether ghrelin is involved in disordered eating behaviors in response to stress, and for understanding differences between males and females in food intake and weight gain ...

I have noticed a man I know well whom I strongly suspect suffers from ADHD turning discussion about his activities too often.

2020年10月9日 · In rats, ECT resulted in behavioral improvements and neurogenesis in the hippocampus. Quite some of these new neurons survived up to 12 months (Vestergaard et al, 2017); In mice, a single ECT triggered cortical snaptogenesis and a sustained neurogenesis, accompanied by behavioral improvement. Relapse occurred 40 days later.

And, although the exact relation between ERα and sexual satiety is exactly what is studied here, one of the mentioned related studies gives an indication: "[m]ale rats require 15 days of sexual inactivity to recover their full mating capacity (Beach and Jordan, 1956)." You might not want to equate humans to rats in your article, though.

This is a really fun problem! Intuitively, the numbers all have latent features (isEven, isPrime, etc), so they live in a richly structured space.

Two lipids especially critical to the brain are the n-6 and n-3 fatty acids. Low levels of n-3 cause visual problems by badly affecting the retina. Studies in rats have shown that diets without n-3 fatty acids cause learning and motor disabilities and may damage systems that use the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin in the frontal cortex.

In animal research, that paper by Aczel mentions experiments where rats have a T-maze, where they look for food to the left or to the right. Originally behaviorists were just interested in learning and unlearning of things like "the cheese is always on the left side", and they found that rats figured this out and would (sensibly) usually go to ...

In addition, certain stimulus patterns led to rats learning more easily. [Emphasis added.] [Emphasis added.] To show how hard I'm working to really earn that bounty of yours, here's the summary from the second Google hit, a review article on this very topic ( Reis et al., 2008 ; again, plenty more info at the source):
