Abstract excerpt
Recently we have shown that an experimentally controlled encounter of mice with rats ("rat stress") some time before actual behavioural testing either abolished or induced behavioural deficits in the Morris water maze, depending on the genotype of the mice: apolipoprotein E knockout mice (apoE0/0) and wild type mice. Here we report that previous rat stress: (i) facilitated learning of a circular hole board task...
