A 1-sample t test and Wilcoxon test were used for the cumulative reinforcers being different than theoretical value of zero in panel c. P values are provided for each of the factors (time, pain, and appropriate interactions) for active and inactive nose pokes, and number of reinforcers earned. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001.

AUC, area under the curve; IVSA, intravenous self-administration.
