Conditioning and contextual retrieval in hippocampal rats.

abstract：:Exposure to 3 moderately intense (1-mA) tailshocks has been shown to lower vocalization thresholds to both heat and shock. Previous shock exposure also facilitates the acquisition of conditioned fear as measured by freezing. These observations suggest that shock induces hyperalgesia (enhanced pain). This study explore...
