Validation of a non-appetitive effort-based foraging task as a measure of motivational state in male mice

2023-12-13

Abstract excerpt

Motivational disorders such as apathy syndrome are highly prevalent across neurological disorders but do not yet have an agreed treatment approach. The use of translational behavioural models can provide a route through which to meaningfully screen novel drug targets. Methods that utilise food deprivation in contrived environments may lack the sensitivity to detect deficits in self-initiated or self-driven behavio...
