Conditioned facilitatory modulation of the response to an aversive stimulus in the crab Chasmagnathus
A mild electrical shock delivered to the walking legs of the crab Chasmagnathus granulatus through a fine layer of sea water, induces a running response that declines after repeated stimulation. Herein, a first series of experiments was aimed at conditioning the response to a light or a dark pulse,...
