Figure 6: Rats showed behavioral and electrophysiological differences with increased reward value.

Figure 6:

a) The 4 × 20 task allowed for the direct comparison of each restaurant when it dispensed 3-pellets (unfilled circle) and 1-pellet (filled circle). (Grey circles represent restaurants/pellet configurations not examined in the current figure). b) A rat’s willingness to wait for food reward (threshold) tracked with reward size on VEH days (left), but not CNO days (right). c) Post-reward lingering time was greater on higher reward restaurants on both VEH and CNO days. d) Waiting SWR rates were higher for 3-pellet restaurants on both VEH and CNO days. e) Lingering SWR rates also tracked with reward size on VEH and CNO days. VEH = blue circle, CNO = red circle. ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001.
