Diazepam (0.3, 0.6, 1.2, or 2.5mg/kg) produced a dose-dependent reduction of the potentiated startle effect where acoustic startle amplitude is normally increased in the presence of a light previously paired with a shock. Even the lowest dose tested (0.3 mg/kg) significantly attenuated potentiated s
This series of experiments was designed to reexamine the ontogenetic emergence of the fear-potentiated startle response in rats. Previous results (Hunt, Richardson, & Campbell, 1994) indicated that potentiated startle to a light conditioned stimulus (CS) paired with an acoustic unconditioned stimulu
The effects of the novel anxiolytics gepirone, buspirone and ipsapirone on free feeding and on feeding induced by the 5-HT~A receptor agonist, 8-hydroxy-2-(di-npropylamino) tetralin (8-OH-DPAT), were examined. Gepirone dose-dependently increased feeding 2 and 4 h after injection, the magnitude of th
Forty-eight male Wistar rats were exposed to contingent light-shock combinations and 48 rats received light and shock stimuli in a random order. One day after fear conditioning the animals were tested for startle potentiation after injection of midazolam (0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 mg/kg, IP) or DMCM (methyl-
