Abstract
Heart rate in water-deprived rats was measured during deprivation and consummatory activity. Special procedures were used to eliminate or minimize the influence of a number of extraneous factors such as handling, previous experience with deprivation, diurnal change, and environmental variation, factors which have an effect on heart rate and which have been confounded in much of the research reported in this area, With such factors controlled, or eliminated, heart rate did not vary with hours of deprivation, but it did vary as a function of consummatory activity.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
