Abstract
Six rats, working in a 2°C ambient temperature, were trained to depress a lever to receive a brief period of heat. Four rats were then moved into the 2°C environment to live, while the others continued to live at room temperature. Living at a temperature of 2°C increased the number of heat presentations the animals delivered to themselves.Keywords
