Effects Of Morphine On Learned Adaptive Behavior And Experimental Neurosis In Cats

Normal cats are trained to depress a platform switch, which activates a feeding signal, and then to squeeze past a barrier to the feeding box. When morphine is administered, more complex and recently acquired behavior disappears and the cats eventually ignore food entirely. Learned behavior reappears in three to four hours, but in the reverse order of disappearance. The same experiment is repeated with 'NEUROTIC' cats.
