    • In the present study, we introduce an experimental procedure to study, in rats, a wide range of natural defensive reactions. Animals were tested in an experimental apparatus that consisted of a home cage (25 x 25 x 25 cm) connected to another chamber (25 x 25 x 25 cm-the food compartment) by a hallway (12.5 cm wide and 100 cm long, with 25-cm high walls). During 10 days before the testing procedures, each animal was isolated in the home cage, and, at the beginning of the dark phase, allowed to… CONTINUE READING
