Sentence examples for palatable rewards from inspiring English sources

In the present series of experiments, we showed that NOX‐B11‐2 does not affect the preference for saccharin, supporting a role for central, rather than peripheral, ghrelin signaling for the intake of palatable rewards.

We trained rats in a spatial discrimination task to retrieve palatable reward in three fixed locations.

In the experiments described here we have used a palatable food reward to assess the potential modulatory effect of a rewarding stimulus, and reward-related cues, on synaptic transmission in the entorhinal cortex.

These rats remained in their home cages until adulthood (P60), when they were trained in operant boxes to respond to a palatable food reward and then challenged with several different cognitive tasks.

Our results clearly demonstrate that UCMS-induced behavioural changes including coat state degradation, disturbances in grooming motivation (splash test) and decrease in the motivation to obtain a palatable stimulus (reward maze test), were all reversed by fluoxetine treatment in mice subjected to a regular diet.

Thus, several FN proteins likely function in a complicated multipronged defense against microbes in this otherwise palatable solution offered to reward pollinators.

Palatable food activates the reward system due to repeated coupling of the food cue and the rewarding consumption experience (Castellanos et al., 2009; Nijs et al., 2010).
