Rats can learn to persist in making a response that is punished. Brain 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) systems are known to mediate acute responding to punishment. This work investigates 5-HT involvement in learned resistance to punishment. Forebrain 5-HT was depleted by intracerebral injection of 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine. Lesioned rats were fully able to learn resistance to punishment, although acute responding to punishment was impaired. Forebrain 5-HT does not mediate learned resistance to punishment.
大鼠能够学会坚持做出受惩罚的反应。已知大脑5-羟色胺(5-HT)系统介导对惩罚的急性反应。这项研究调查了5-HT在习得性惩罚抵抗中的作用。通过脑内注射5,7-二羟基色胺耗尽前脑5-HT。尽管对惩罚的急性反应受损,但受损大鼠完全能够学会抵抗惩罚。前脑5-HT并不介导习得性惩罚抵抗。
