Mice were food-restricted and maintained at 90% of their initial body weight to facilitate learning and performance during the whole operant conditioning. Computer-controlled operant conditioning was conducted in 12 identical conditioning chambers (Phenomaster, TSE Systems GmbH, Bad Homburg, Germany) during the light phase, at the same hour every day until the end of the procedure. Each operant wall had two levers (one active and one inactive) located 3 cm lateral to a central pellet dispenser. The reinforcer was a single 20-mg peanut butter flavored sucrose tablet (TestDiet, Richmond, USA). Operant training was carried out daily with no interruption for 1h under a fixed-ratio 1 (FR1, 1 lever press = 1 pellet). When the discrimination score between active and inactive lever press (active lever presses/inactive lever presses) exceeded chance level, mice were shifted to sessions under a FR5 (5 lever presses = 1 pellet) and/or a progressive ratio (PR) [3 lever presses more for each subsequent reinforcer (r = 3N + 3; N = reinforcer number)]. Whenever of interest, PR was conducted in both food-restricted and sated mice.
Peanut butter flavored sucrose tablet
Manufactured by TestDiet
Sourced in United States
The Peanut butter flavored sucrose tablet is a laboratory product designed for use in research and testing applications. It is a solid dosage form containing sucrose as the primary ingredient, with a peanut butter flavor added. The core function of this product is to provide a standardized source of sucrose and peanut butter flavor for scientific purposes.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
