Abstract
Rats were trained to discriminate between 2 and 22 hours of food restriction by choosing between two levers. Upon acquiring the discrimination task, the rats were repeatedly tested across sessions. Two different tests were conducted. Ther first assessed to what extent food consumption alters effects of different deprivation durations. The second test compared the effects of consuming different diets on stimuli associated with 22 hur food deprivation.
