| Popis: | Possible effects of feeding on learning were studied by comparing learned avoidance rates among three groups of Wistar rats that were given a diet at 1 h (1-h pretest group) and 5 h (5-h pretest group) before and immediately after (post-test group) the conditioned avoidance test. Learned avoidance rates during eight test sessions were higher in the order of the 1-h pretest, post-test, and 5-h pretest groups. This suggests that both pre- and post-test (training) feeding facilitates acquisition of conditioned avoidance learning presumably based on neurohumoral processes influenced by available plasma glucose concentrations. |
