Adenosine-3,5-phosphate levels in brain structures of rats submitted to four different behavioral procedures.
Shuttle avoidance training decreased the cAMP content of rat brain (excluding hippocampus and caudate nucleus), amygdala and hypothalamus. Stimulation by tones alone had a similar effect, but only in the brain fraction. Pseudoconditioning or footshocks alone had no effect.
