Water Deprivation Schedule

2 experiments concerned adaptation to a water deprivation schedule. Guinea pigs needed about 21 days to adjust to such a schedule, and a green supplement which is necessary for maintaining health does not interfere markedly with water consumption.

Current Incidence

Incidence of fractures following ECS was found to be significantly reduced by placing animals on a water deprivation schedule, thus reducing body weight significantly. Only animals showing ‘clonic-only’, as opposed to tonic-clonic, convulsions developed fractures. Highest incidence of fractures was found to occur after first ECS, incidence tapering off rapidly thereafter. It was concluded that by reducing body weight through water deprivation, as well as manipulating the strength and duration of the convulsing current, incidence of fractures could be kept at a minimum.

20 rats and 20 guinea pigs were compared on a 23.5-hr. water-deprivation schedule and on a 23.5-hr. food-deprivation schedule. Rats showed a satisfactory adjustment to both these schedules, while guinea pigs adjusted to water-deprivation but not to the food-deprivation schedule.

Ad Libitum Feeding

Inhibition of ad libitum feeding in rats was induced by hypertonic NaCl injections. Though osmotic loads of sufficient size were capable of abolishing feeding completely for a time, the effect was not as large as had been predicted from a hypothesis of strictly linear subtractive inhibition. Feeding at a low level of hunger seems to be somewhat less affected by osmotic inhibition than feeding on a deprivation schedule. Inhibition of feeding was also produced by deprivation of water, and both the inhibition of food intake during deprivation, and the disinhibition by subsequent drinking indicated that the amount of inhibition of food intake is a non-linear (accelerating) function of water deficit. A model of the process indicating that the thirst signal undergoes a non-linear transformation before being subtracted from the signal corresponding to food demand is proposed.

Level Group

Investigation of immediate behavioral effects of 5 ethanol dose levels on 30 albino rats was undertaken. Each dose-level group had 5 Ss, with each S on a different water-deprivation schedule. Behavioral indices included respiration, balance, muscle tonus, auditory sensitivity, activity, coordination, and dose-effect length. Low doses resulted in a stimulative effect, while larger doses produced increasing incapacitation of caudorostral progression, with the highest dose of ethanol producing unconsciousness.
