The Inadequacy of Intracranial Stimulation to the Posterior Hypothalamus to Serve as a Reinforcer for Maze Learning in the Rat
Abstract
dc:description.abstractEighteen, 23 hour food deprived, self-stimulating rats were divided into two groups. One group received 20 ICS pulses as a reward for a correct response in a T-maze while the second group received a food reward. The subjects learned for food over 5 days of 10 massed trials per day, but failed to show learning for ICS either within sessions or over days. There was no difference in learning between rats with high bar press rates and those with low rates in either group.
