Figure 2

(A) A representative development of the lever press based on an operant learning from FI 30-s, FI 45-s to FI 60-s (Day 14) in an individual rat. X-axis depicts the timing of lever press, whereas Y-axis depicts the accumulated number of lever press (seconds). Dot lines present the designated timings at which subjects ought to press the levers under each FI schedule. (B,C). The percentage of the lever press during the designated period (B; 25–30 s, C; 30 s-) in the total number of lever press. Bar: mean ± S.D. In panel B, *indicates significant differences v.s. FI 30-s, †indicates significant differences v.s. FI 45-s (ps < 0.01). In panel C, *indicates significant differences v.s. FI 30-s †indicates significant differences v.s. FI 45-s, ‡indicates significant differences v.s. D1 of FI 60-s and §indicates a significant difference v.s. D7 of FI 60-s (ps < 0.01).
