Summary of findings in WSP-1 and WSR-1 mice.

Phenotype Outcome
Sucrose fading (acquisition)

Appetitive measures
  Active lever responses WSR-1 ≥ WSP-1
  Inactive lever responses WSR-1 > WSP-1

Consummatory measures

  10S volume (ml) WSR-1 = WSP-1
  Sucrose/ethanol volume (ml) WSR-1 < WSP-1
  10E volume (ml) WSR-1 = WSP-1
  Sucrose/ethanol intake (g/kg ethanol) WSR-1 < WSP-1
  10E intake (g/kg ethanol) WSR-1 = WSP-1

Reinforcement schedule

 FR4: 10E intake (g/kg) WSR-1 = WSP-1
 RR8: 10E intake (g/kg) WSR-1 > WSP-1

Extinction time course

 Rate WSR-1 = WSP-1
 Active lever responses WSR-1 = WSP-1
 Inactive lever responses WSR-1 > WSP-1

Reinstatement (active lever)

 Baseline WSR-1 > WSP-1
 Oral prime No reinstatement
 Light cue WSP-1 only
 Combined cues WSR-1 = WSP-1
 Inactive lever responses No effects

Home cage preference drinking

 5S intake (g/kg sucrose) WSR-1 > WSP-1
 5S/10E intake (g/kg ethanol) WSR-1 = WSP-1
 Alcohol deprivation effect (5S/10E intake; g/kg ethanol) No ADE; WSR-1 < WSP-1 for intake during first 2 days postdeprivation
