Research during the past 20 years has revealed that intermittent food presentation to a
variety of organisms results in an inordinately excessive consumption of water as well as …

The term “schedule-induced” implies that the overall frequency of a behavior is greater in the
presence of an intermittent schedule of reinforcement than in the absence of such a …

Adrenalectomized female rats failed to develop schedule-induced polydipsia (SIP).
Dexamethasone (DEX) injections failed to reinstate SIP in adrenalectomized rats. They did …

Onset of action is a key unmet need in the treatment of depression. However, very few
preclinical models in which the effects of antidepressants can be shown are suitable for …

Food‐deprived rats (at 80% of their free‐feeding weights) were exposed to a fixed‐time 60‐s
schedule of food‐pellet presentation and developed schedule‐induced drinking. Lick …

Drinking and thirst-motivated behaviour have traditionally been explained in terms of the
rather simple concept of homeostasis. A homeostatic mechanism readily accounts for …

In Experiment 1, wild-caught Norway rats failed to develop schedule-induced polydipsia at
80% free-feeding weight when placed on several fixed-time schedules. During Experiment 2 …

The behavioral patterns of Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) housed individually
and in same-sex groups (siblings) were characterized. Gerbils were continuously video …

Drinking and thirst-motivated behaviour have traditionally been explained in terms of the

Rats, hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs were tested on a fixed-time 1-min food-
reinforcement schedule to compare schedule-induced wheel running across the four …
