Abstract
Sweet solutions are commonly used in animal research to deliver drugs to test for addictive capacity and efficacy. In this study we compared the effects of a range of sucrose and saccharin concentrations on the performance of an operant assay. Our findings demonstrate that across a range of sucrose solutions some produce a success ratio which could mistakenly be labeled allodynic demonstrating the importance of choosing the correct reward solution.Entities:
