The effects of stimulation of the amygdala on food and water intake in rabbitsPhysiological Psychology - Tập 6 - Trang 61-64 - 2013
Klaus Schneider, Donald Novin
The amygdala is supposed to have a dual modulatory influence on instigating and inhibiting central functions of alimentary behavior. Electrical stimulation of the basolateral amygdala in rabbits suppressed food and water intake during stimulation but had no aftereffects. Stimulation of the corticomedial amygdala had no discernible effects on food and water intake.
Entrainment of respiration to repetitive finger tappingPhysiological Psychology - Tập 3 - Trang 345-349 - 2013
John Thomas Wilke, Robert W. Lansing, Cecil A. Rogers
Subjects were instructed to synchronize finger tapping with visual signals of various frequencies. It was found that breathing rate became entrained to tapping rate if the latter fell within a range of two breaths per minute of the subject’s previous breathing rate. Entrainment did not occur when the subject merely monitored the visual stimuli but only during performance of tapping. The effect occ...... hiện toàn bộ
Hemispheric amplitude asymmetries in the auditory evoked potential with monaural and binaural stimulationPhysiological Psychology - Tập 3 - Trang 169-171 - 2013
J. L. Andreassi, J. J. De Simone, M. A. Friend, P. A. Grota
The present experiment examined auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) under three conditions of auditory stimulation: left ear, right ear, and the two ears simultaneously. It was hypothesized that the white-noise stimulus would result in higher amplitude AEPs in the contralateral hemisphere as compared to the ipsilateral. This was confirmed. There were no latency differences in AEPs recorded from over...... hiện toàn bộ
Saccharin ingestion, weight loss, and mortality in ratsPhysiological Psychology - Tập 2 - Trang 323-325 - 2013
Alfred Volo, Andrew Strouthes
Rats maintained on 10 g of food and saccharin solutions suffered weight loss and mortality compared with controls maintained on 10 g food and water. Frequency of death was related to amount and concentration of the ingested solution, while weight loss was related only to concentration and absolute amount of saccharin intake.
Further results obtained with pairing of the “kindling effect” and the “transfer experiment”Physiological Psychology - Tập 3 - Trang 237-239 - 2013

Previous experiments indicated that the development of clonic convulsions could be retarded by intraperitoneal injections of brain homogenate supernatant from male Wistar rats which had convulsed via amygdaloid electrical stimulation if two or more brain equivalents were used. Six experiments were conducted employing intracerebral injections. Although significant differences appeared in one experi...... hiện toàn bộ
A factor analysis of data from sequential alternation of amygdaloid stimulation: A replicationPhysiological Psychology - Tập 7 - Trang 437-443 - 2013
John Gaito, Stephen T. Gaito
Data from a number of sequential alternation experiments for 125 subjects were factor analyzed to determine the number of common factors present. Three measures (mean latency of convulsion, mean number of trials to, six convulsions, mean duration of convulsions) were evaluated by principal components analyses. The presence of two factors was suggested in the latency, criterion, and duration measur...... hiện toàn bộ
