“…Evidence consistent with this proposition derives from a range of pharmacological manipulations (e.g., systemic or central administration of orexin receptor antagonists: Clegg et al, 2002;Harris et al, 2005Harris et al, , 2006Zheng et al, 2007;Borgland et al, 2009; central administration of orexin or its precursor: Choi et al., 2010), and a variety of behavioural paradigms (e.g., conditioned place preference: Harris et al, 2005Harris et al, , 2007Narita et al, 2006; consumption of palatable diet: Clegg et al, 2002;Zheng et al, 2007;Nair et al, 2008;Borgland et al, 2009;Sharf et al, 2010; performance on progressive-ratio schedules: Borgland et al, 2009;Choi et al, 2010). Several methodological factors may have contributed to the apparent discrepancy between the present findings and the results of previous experiments.…”
