Abstract

Rats trained to make a jumping response to the onset of a visual stimulus lost the habit after damage to the interpeduncular nucleus of the midbrain. It was noted, however, that the majority of the operated animals showed perfect retention of the "fear" response to the conditioned stimulus.

摘要

经过训练对视觉刺激开始做出跳跃反应的大鼠，在中脑脚间核受损后失去了这种习惯。然而，值得注意的是，大多数接受手术的动物对条件刺激仍完美地保持着“恐惧”反应。
