Rapid corticosterone pulses: confirmation by an alleged disconfirmation?
Data from a paper reporting a failure to confirm our report of rapid corticosterone pulses and suggesting that our data were artifactual were reanalyzed and reevaluated. It is shown that these data actually appear to confirm our original report. Artifacts in their procedure tend to introduce smearing that minimizes the observed effect. In addition, their method of data presentation combined with the lack of appropriate data analysis apparently led to their failure to draw the proper conclusions.
