Effect of naloxone pretreatment on habituation in the crab chasmagnathus granulatus

On sudden presentation of a passing shadow, the crab Chasmagnathus granulatus reacts with an escape response that habituates after repeating the same stimulus. In a first series of experiments, a range of naloxone (NX) doses (0.8, 2.4, 3.2, and 6.2 μg/g) was injected into crabs 15 min before one 15-...
