Schedule-Induced Behaviour

TL;DR: This chapter discusses schedule-induced polydipsia, where given the opportunity the rat will go on drinking regularly after each pellet, for hours on end, with very little sign of satiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Schedule-induced behavior in hyperactive children

TL;DR: A schedule-induced behavior paradigm was used to investigate the activity patterns of hyperactive children in a standardized situation and the stimulant drug methylphenidate was administered in an attempt to reduce the amount of baseline activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unilateral substantia nigra lesions and schedule-induced polydipsia.

TL;DR: It was found that unilateral lesions of either the "Dominant" or "non-dominant" SN significantly reduced SIP and also significantly impaired somatosensory responsiveness as indicated by the "tactile extinction test."
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of norepinephrine applied to the lateral hypothalamus on schedule induced polydipsia.

TL;DR: The fact that norepinephrine failed to block schedule induced polydipsia indicates that this behavior is regulated by a different biochemical system than that of deprivation induced drinking.

The nature and determinants of adjunctive behavior

TL;DR: The similarities among the various behaviors induced as adjuncts to the behaviors under direct schedule control are described in terms of their intensities, temporal loci, and the variables which produce them.

Glucose and Osmosensitive Neurones of the Rat Hypothalamus

TL;DR: The direct effects of glucose on individual cells of the VMH and LH are studied by means of electro-osmotic applications of glucose from micropipettes—the method used by Krnjević and Whittaker in other regions in the brain.

Conditions producing psychogenic polydipsia in animals

TL;DR: The evidence will be examined to determine whether thispolydipsic phenomenon can be explained either on physiological grounds or with respect to simple behavioral considerations, and the variables of which the polydipsia is a function will be summarized.
