“…Although a lot was learned using this approach, artificially increasing motivation leads to the loss of information on the natural drive to find, get, and consume food. In addition, food deprivation is known to alter brain function, thus putting in doubt the conclusions regarding neural mechanisms studied under such conditions ( Bubenik et al., 1992 ; Claassen, 1994 ; Karami et al., 2006 ; Talhati et al., 2014 ). Figure 2 A contrived environment leads to rigid behaviors (A) Stereotypic behaviors, such as pacing the fence, are often observed in captive wild animals living under conditions far more simplistic than those of their natural habitats.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
