Contributions of Pavlovian incentive motivation to cue-potentiated feeding

Abstract Cues signaling the availability of palatable food acquire the ability to potentiate food seeking and consumption. The current study employed a combination of behavioral, pharmacological, and analytical techniques to probe the role of Pavlovian incentive motivation in cue-potentiated feeding...

description Abstract Cues signaling the availability of palatable food acquire the ability to potentiate food seeking and consumption.
