Differences in learning and extinction in response to vasopressin in six inbred mouse strains.
Vasopressin was found to enhance acquisition of conditioned avoidance responses in one inbred mouse strain and to retard extinction; in another inbred mouse strain vasopressin depressed the acquisition of conditioned avoidance; in four additional inbred mouse strains vasopressin had no effect on conditioned avoidance learning.
