TL;DR

A single injection of p-chlorophenylalanine enhanced the performance of two strains of rats in a conditioned avoidance task and was especially evident at low UCS intensities for one strain and at high UCS intensity for the other strain.

Abstract

A single injection of p-chlorophenylalanine enhanced the performance of two strains of rats in a conditioned avoidance task. The enhancement was especially evident at low UCS intensities for one strain and at high UCS intensities for the other strain. Chronic p-chlorophenylalanine treatment retarded the performance of rats and mice in conditioned avoidance tasks.
