Light-dark differences in behavioral sensitivity to oxytocin.

abstract：:Six females rats were trained to lever press under a free operant shock-postponement schedule. Each subject had a yoked control which received shock whenever the subject did. The shock-postponement interval (R-S) was varied from 5, 10, 20, 40, to 80 s over blocks of sessions. Corticosteroid levels were taken prior to ...
