The conditioning chamber was constructed of gray acrylic (20×23×20cm) with a transparent lid and connected to a scrambled shocker (Ugo Basile Biological Research Apparatus). The grid floor consisted of 10 parallel stainless-steel grid bars, each measuring 4mm in diameter and spaced 1.5cm apart (center to center). The chamber was placed in a room illuminated by a white fluorescent tube located on the ceiling, which was cleaned before and after each session, with background noise being supplied by ventilation fans and shock scramblers. The training and test sessions were conducted between 0900 and 1300h.
Scrambled shocker
Manufactured by Ugo Basile
Sourced in Italy
The Scrambled Shocker is a laboratory device designed to deliver a controlled electrical stimulation. It generates a scrambled electric current that can be applied to various experimental samples or subjects.

The conditioning chamber (Cs) was made of gray plastic wall (20 3 23 3 20 cm 3 ) with a clear lid. The floor consisted of 10 parallel stainless steel grid bars enclosed within a sound attenuating chamber. The grid floor was attached to a scrambled shocker (UgoBasile Biological Research Apparatus, Italy) to provide footshock. Illumination was supplied by a 2.5 W white light bulb, and the background noise was made available by ventilation fans and the shock scrambler (55 dB). The chambers were cleaned with 10% aqueous ethanol solution before and after each session. Experiments were always performed between 1400 and 1600 h with the experimenters unaware of the treatment condition.

The conditioning chamber (20 × 23 × 20 cm) contained a grid floor of 10 parallel stainless-steel bars spaced 1.5 cm apart (center to center) and with a diameter of 4 mm each. A scrambled shocker (Ugo Basile Biological Research Apparatus) was used for shock administration. The chamber was placed in a room illuminated by a white fluorescent light located on the ceiling. Ventilation fans and shock scramblers provided background noise. The chamber was cleaned with alcohol (80% in water) before and/or after each session. The fear conditioning procedure was identical to the one used in previous successful experiments [[25] (link), [26] (link), [27] ].
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
