TL;DR: The contribution of corticosterone to contextual- and auditory-cue fear conditioning was examined and it appears to contribute to the neural processes that support the consolidation of a long-term memory representation of the context.
Abstract: The contribution of corticosterone to contextual- and auditory-cue fear conditioning was examined. Adrenalectomized rats showed reduced contextual-fear conditioning when tested 24 hr after conditioning; however, neither immediate contextual- nor auditory-cue fear conditioning was impaired. Contextual-fear conditioning in adrenalectomized rats with corticosterone replacement during the 4-day interval separating surgery and conditioning matched the level of controls. Moreover, rats exposed to the context prior to adrenalectomy showed normal long-term contextual-fear conditioning. Corticosterone replacement administered after the conditioning episode also negated the effects of adrenalectomy. Thus, corticosterone's role in fear conditioning is selective: It appears to contribute to the neural processes that support the consolidation of a long-term memory representation of the context.

TL;DR: In this article, a total of 335 lambs 12 to 15 months of age with slaughter weights between 59 and 77 kg were utilized to evaluate the effects of hot processing alone or in combination with elevated temperature conditioning on the cooking properties and consumer acceptance of cuts.
