Abstract
AS part of a programme concerned with the quality of RNA synthesized during behaviour we have carried out an experiment to detect the synthesis of qualitatively unique species of RNA during visual stimulation. Two litters of male Wistar rats were housed in a dimly lit room from 40 days of age. At 100 days four members of each litter were injected intracran-ially with 1 mCi of 5-3H-uridine and after 30 min were subjected to 90 min of visual stimulation (experimental subjects), while other rats of each litter were restrained in darkness (control subjects).
