Abstract
The contractility of tail artery rings was investigated in rats psycho genetically selected for rapid (KHA) and slow (KLA) acquisition of an avoidance response in the shuttle box. The vessel contractility was gr eater in the KHA rats. Hydrocortisone administration enhanced vessel c ontractility in both strains.
