Abstract

Both control and septal animals rapidly developed clearcut differential autonomic responses. In contrast to the nonreinforced stimulus which produced slight HR change and small GSR, the reinforced stimulus produced consistent deceleration of HR and larger magnitude GSR. In marked contrast to the control group, septal animals consistently exhibited smaller overall GSR and higher baseline levels of skin resistance. Septal animals also showed less accelerative HR response to shock, but greater persistence of response with repeated shocks. The hypothesis was considered that the ANS of septal animals was chronically imbalanced due to a decrease in sympathetic tonus.
