Behavioral and hormonal effects of hippocampal lesions on male and female rats

TL;DR: Sex-lesion interactions were found for activity in the operant chamber during DRL performance and for DRL extinction: females with hippocampal lesions were more active and made more responses during extinction than males with hippocampus lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Possible significance of ACTH fragments for human mental performance.

TL;DR: Results of experiments with rats indicate that ACTH 4–10 and other fragments or analogs that are devoid of endocrine effects have an effect on acquisition and delay extinction of conditioned behavior and a facilitating effect on retrieval from memory.
Journal ArticleDOI

Embryonic Pituitary Adrenal Axis, Behavior Development and Domestication in Birds

TL;DR: The hypothesis that behavioral differences in wild and domesticated ducklings result from a higher level of pituitary adrenal function in the wild embryo is explored and hormonal modulation of early imprinting behavior may constitute an important determinant of adult social behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of adrenocorticotropic hormone on conditioned avoidance in rats interpreted as state-dependent learning.

TL;DR: ACTH given in testing increased avoidance for subjects that had received ACTH in training and decreased avoidance for those that hadreceived placebo in training.
Journal ArticleDOI

Schedule-induced polydipsia in rats: adrenocortical and hippocampal modulation.

TL;DR: A synthesis of present findings with the literature suggests that the hippocampus and the adrenal cortex interact and that the equilibrium established within this system is reflected, for any particular rat, in its adjunctive behavior.
