Figure 4. Port entry probability following devaluation via sensory specific satiety.

Figure 4.

(A-C) Port entry probability under extinction conditions in response to the CS+ versus CS- following sucrose devaluation (sucrose free-access, blue), or control conditions (maltodextrin free-access, orange; no solution, yellow) in all rats combined (A, n = 15), males (B, n=8) and females (C, n=7). Data shown as mean ± SEM. Dots represent individual animals. (D-F) Trial-by-trial responding to the CS+, shown as percentage of rats with a port entry response. The percentage of animals that responded to the CS+ with a port entry was highest following access to no solution and lowest following free access to sucrose (D). Males (E) had a higher proportion of responders on days with free access to no solution with females showing no significant difference (F) based on access type. (G-I) Trial-by-trial responding to the CS-, shown as percentage of rats with a port entry response. The proportion of animals responding to CS- did not change based on access type across sexes. *p< 0.05, #p< 0.10, compared to sucrose free-access.
