Abstract
Experiment was conducted to determine the effect of an extended restricted-feeding schedule on activity as measured by the Wahmann revolving drum. Nine control animals were given free access to food and water; seven experimental animals were given free access to water, but had 23-hr. daily food deprivation for a 21 day period. Although activity for the control group remained relatively stable, mean daily activity for the exptl. animals rose to more than 1500% of normal. These findings are markedly similar to a previous study with deafened animals.Keywords
