TL;DR: Three potent stressors (forced running, immobilization, and footshock) were found to increase levels of cyclic AMP in the pituitaries of both female and male rats, and changes in plasma levels of prolactin, corticosterone, and growth hormone were unclear.

TL;DR: Although locus coeruleus lesions interfere with performance in a runway task they do not produce a general impairment in learning and are not related to motor difficulties or differences in activity.

TL;DR: Although all biochemical indices of stress measured increased as shock intensity increased, some differences among the substances measured were observed with respect to threshold intensity, range of proportional response and maximal response.

TL;DR: The recovery of sleep quantity was accomplished by increased sleep during the dark hours, resulting in a long-lasting disruption of normal circadian sleep patterning.

TL;DR: The data indicate that injection of AF64A into the substantia nigra can result in damage to dopaminergic neurons, and this should not be taken as a cause for concern in future studies of cholinergic neurotoxins.
