Article Synopsis
- - Following exposure to negative stimuli, organisms adjust their behavior by enhancing defensive actions while reducing non-defensive ones, requiring flexibility to adapt to changing internal or external conditions.
- - In the mollusk Aplysia, the behaviors of sensitization (increased defensive withdrawal) and feeding suppression are often seen together after training with aversive stimuli, but this study aimed to separate the two.
- - Manipulations like prolonged food deprivation and extended training with aversive stimuli showed that sensitization and feeding suppression can be uncoupled, indicating that these behaviors can change based on the organism's condition and experiences.
