Chicks' preferences for the frequency of a flashing light can be modified by electrically stimulating the medial part of the hyperstriatum ventrale with trains of shocks at that frequency. Chicks stimulated with 1.5 pulse trains s-1 preferred a light flashing at 1.5 s-1 and chicks stimulated at 4.5 trains s-1 preferred a light flashing at 4.5 s-1. Three behavioural measures taken during the preference test, namely measures of movement, latency to approach and distress calls were not significantly influenced by the frequency of brain stimulation.
通过以特定频率的串刺激电刺激腹侧上纹状体中部，可改变雏鸡对闪烁光频率的偏好。以1.5次脉冲串/秒刺激的雏鸡偏好以1.5秒/次闪烁的光，而以4.5次脉冲串/秒刺激的雏鸡偏好以4.5秒/次闪烁的光。在偏好测试期间采取的三种行为测量指标，即运动测量、接近潜伏期和 distress 叫声，均未受到脑刺激频率的显著影响。
