In rats they tested avoidance behavior in "shuttleboxes", "jump boxes", or "a pole jumping test" sounds unpleasant and annoying but not necessarily fear inducing. Is there learning research on rats with no pituitary who are then stimulated to fear with cat urine (Unconditional)?

Paanksepp describes fear in rats recognizably: trembling, hiding, cowering, fleeing, and bowel voiding. All relatable stuff.

Very interested if ACTH is generally excitatory wrt learning unpleasant/fearful stimuli. Has implications for human behavior. Theres got to be more recent research.
