Relation between startle reactivity and sucrose avidity in two rat strains bred for differential seizure susceptibility.

Experimental neurology - 1 Jun 2011

Runke Dwayne, McIntyre Dan C, St-Onge Veronique, Gilby Krista L

Abstract excerpt

Rat strains selectively bred to be seizure-prone (Fast) versus seizure-resistant (Slow) show differing levels of anxiety, with Slow rats displaying relatively enhanced anxiety-like behaviors to aversive stimuli. Ample data has suggested that highly anxious rodents exhibit reduced avidity for sucrose and greater startle responses than rodents with relatively low anxiety levels. Thus, it was hypothesized that the...
