Abstract
While numerous environmental manipulations are commonly used as stressors in laboratory animals, there are few data to indicate which of these are perceived as stressful by the rat, or whether some manipulations are more stressful than others. In the present study, the authors used biora-diotelemetry to examine changes in heart rate, body temperature, and locomotor activity as indices of stressor responsivity in the rat.
