Experiments were conducted in 12 operant experimental chambers (Model ENV-008CT, Med Associates, Inc., St. Albans, VT, USA) located within ventilated sound attenuating enclosures (ENV-018MD) located in a designated room. Each chamber featured, on one wall, two amber stimulus lights (Model ENV-221M) located directly above two retractable levers (Model ENV-112CM) positioned 2.1 cm above the stainless steel grid floor and 7.62 cm apart from one another, a center receptacle located between the two levers, and a pellet feeder (Model ENV-200R2M). A house light and ventilator fans were located on the opposite wall. Experimental contingencies and data collection were controlled using a computer-driven interface (Model SG-503, MED Associates, St. Albans, VT, USA).

Twenty-six Plexiglas operant conditioning chambers (Model ENV-008CT, Med Associates, Lafayette, IN, USA), each enclosed in a larger sound-attenuating plywood cabinet (model ENV-018M, Med Associates), were employed. Each operant chamber had a house light (28 W), a cue light (28 W) and three levers. The “active” lever was retractable, was positioned 8 cm above the floor and 10 cm from the “inactive” lever. A second “inactive” lever was positioned 8 cm above the floor, on the opposite side of the chamber. The active lever was connected to an infusion pump (Razel Scientific Instruments, Stamford, CT) positioned outside of the sound-insulating cabinet. The cue light was located 3 cm above this lever and served as a conditioned stimulus (CS) paired with the delivery of intraoral infusions. The inactive levers served to control for baseline, non-reinforced operant behavior: pressing on either had no consequences, but all presses were recorded.
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.
