A General experimental timeline for all experiments. B In the RDT, rats are given a choice between two levers in an operant chamber. A press on one lever results in the delivery of 1 food pellet (small, safe lever), whereas a press on the other lever results in the delivery of a larger food reward accompanied by an increasing probability of footshock delivery (large, risky lever).
