Conditioned defensive burying: A new paradigm for the study of anxiolytic agents
Open accessAbstract
Behavioral paradigms that have been designed to mimic forms of learning that are important for the survival of animals in the wild, rather than to minimize the contributions of adaptive predispositions, may prove to be particularly useful for studying the behavioral effects of drugs. In the present experiments, the propensity of rats to bury sources of aversive stimulation was disrupted in a dose-dependent fashion by a single injection of the anxiolytic drug, diazepam. This suggested that the conditioned defensive burying paradigm could prove to be a valuable addition to the paradigms available for studying anxiolytic effects. Supporting this view were two additional observations. First, the relative potencies of diazepam, chlordiazepoxide, and pentobarbital in the burying paradigm compared favorably with their relative potencies in clinical settings. Second, the effects of anxiolytics on conditioned burying appeared to be dissociable from the effects of other drugs that disrupt this behavior.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
