Abstract
Tests made on 3 cats and 2 rats with chronically implanted electrodes in the caudate and septal regions showed significantly higher rates of responding after 48 hrs. of food and water deprivation than under zero or 1-hr. deprivation. Rates for 4 and 24-hr. de-privation fell between these extremes.Keywords
