The Effects of Allopregnanolone on Feeding: A Behavioural Investigation
… test, allopregnanolone significantly reduced thigmotaxis produced by exposure to a novel environment further indicating a reduction in neophobia (environment related). However, allopregnanolone had no significant effect on spout approach behaviors and produced a mild sedative effect on …

An analysis of the establishment and impact of an exotic insect, Rhinocyllus conicus Froehling (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), on Carduus nutans L. and Carduus acanthoides L. (Campanulatae: Compositae) in Virginia with notes on their biologies
… to 95.8% (unprotected). Weevil adults exhibited thigmotaxis by overwintering in the cracks of the framework of a large outdoor rearing cage. They apparently preferred this site rather than soil litter and debris. Best release establishment and dispersal occurred on C. nutans which was preferred …

Circadian desynchrony in the mouse: how does chronic exposure to rotating shift work-like patterns of light/dark affect circadian rhythms and neurobehavioural outcomes
… rotation speed as animals displayed open field thigmotaxis and hyperlocomotion. To test the hypothesis that rotating light/dark cycle weakens the circadian pacemaker examination of the SCN was carried out with results indicating no aberrant upregulation of inflammatory markers and normal …
