An unpaired t test was used for area under the curve (AUC) data. 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.
