Chlordiazepoxide and preference for free food in rats.
Rats continued to lever press for food when a bowl of free food was placed in the experimental chamber. Chlordiazepoxide increased the amount of free food consumed, and tended to reduce the amount of lever pressing. It is argued that the drug decreased container neophobia in the animals, rather than acting like an increase in food deprivation.
