Operant conditioning of hippocampal theta: dissociating reward from performance deficits.

abstract：:The effects of postingestive feedback on the value of intraoral sucrose and lateral hypothalamic (LH) stimulation were compared. Rats chose between a fixed LH stimulation train or a compound reward composed of the same stimulation train and an oral infusion of 1 M sucrose. The rats preferred the compound reward when p...
