Figure 6.1.
Mean (+SE) responses on the active lever for NIC+VS peaks at more than twice the sum of NIC alone plus VS alone. For clarity the lower panel reproduces the NIC and NIC + VS data of the upper panel and shows non-contingent VS exposure (controlled by rats in the NIC+VS group through yoking) does not synergize with contingent NIC. N=8-12/group. Data derived from Donny et al (2003).
