Abstract: In this experiment, 7 Apodemus peninsulae's were taken electric shock and monitored by 24 h to study the effects of stress on their behavior and memory learning ability. The results showed that the round trip times between A and B and food intake of the 7 Apodemus peninsulae without electric shock were almost the same. After being shocked, the Apodemus peninsulae showed behaviors of avoiding harm. It indicated that stress conditions like electric shock could enhance their ability to learn and memory.

Key words: Apodemus peninsulae, stress response, electric shock, memory, learning ability
