Abstract
RESULTS of two previous studies1,2 using successive competition DNA–RNA hybridization procedures suggested the synthesis of “unique” species of RNA during a one way active shock avoidance task. Here we describe two experiments in which brain RNA from shock avoidance trained rats competed with brain RNA from shocked yoke controls. The results of both experiments suggest the presence of “unique” RNA species during learning.
