Abstract
Heart rate (HR) was recorded from 23.5- and 47.5-h water-deprived rats during 12 days of adjustment to the deprivation schedules and throughout subsequent conditioning. No HR effects of deprivation per se were noted, but a significant - tachycardia developed during conditioning A 47.5-h deprived group never given water in the apparatus throughout the entire deprivation period (approximately 60 days) failed to manifest this response. Thus, several potential sources of artifact in a prior study were eliminated.
