Image Theses and Dissertations Heat sensitivity of the rat: heart rate conditioning with a thermal CS Recent theoretical interpretations of the cutaneous sensory code may be categorized into non-specific temporal-spatial patterning explanations vs specific modality receptor mechanisms. Electrophysiological data based upon neurological responses of lower mammals to both mechanical and thermal stimulation support both positions. View Item
Image Theses and Dissertations Let us... do what we can: Quaker Women and Medicine in Eighteenth-Century Philadelphia For many medical historians, the eighteenth century is defined as a time of scientific exploration that occurred when medical practitioners finally eschewed the restrictions of religious doctrine.

Image Theses and Dissertations Habituation of the startle response to tones of varying intensity It is well known from a variety of observations that the initial level of the startle response is a function of intensity of the auditory stimuli used. The present study seeks also to determine whether the terminal levels and the rates of habituation differ as a function of stimulus intensity. Use of electromyographic recording should not only provide a detailed quatitative picture of the course of habituation but also allow us to answer questions. View Item
