摘要: The duration of barbiturate-induced sleeping in rats was found to be reduced by isolation housing. It also lower males than females, and the dark phase diurnal cycle. These variables were shown additive their effects. Sex differences barbiturate action gonadectomy males; effects depend upon housing conditions at time testing rather early rearing environment. implication for theories arousal is discussed.
