摘要：

Rats with rewarding electrodes in both the septal region and hypothalamus were tested for the ability to solve a successive discrimination task using ESB as the discriminative cue. Intensity and rewardability of the ESB cues were equalized in pre-test trials. All animals learned to discriminate between the two types of shock. Anatomical locus, by itself, seems to be a relevant stimulus dimension involved in the perceptual properties of rewarding ESB. © 1969.
