a, All groups were food deprived for 24 hours and then underwent a novelty suppressed feeding protocol. While chronic immobilization increased the latency to feed, light-reactivation of a positive memory significantly decreased the latency to feed and at levels that matched the unstressed groups. b, Upon completion of the novelty suppressed feeding test, all groups were returned to their home cage and food intake was measured after 5 minutes (one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post-hoc test, **P<0.01, n = 16 per group). Data are means +/− SEM.
