Table 1 Results of mixed-model ANOVAs of concentration (4%, 8%, 16%, or 32%) by genotype (WT or Gria1 −/−), showing main effects of concentration and genotype, and the concentration x genotype interaction, for six measures of consumption behaviour in Experiments 1 and 2.

From: GluA1 AMPAR subunit deletion reduces the hedonic response to sucrose but leaves satiety and conditioned responses intact
