Abstract

Water deprived and cholinergically stimulated animals were given two bottle sucrose-water preference tests. Results indicated that cholinergically stimulated and deprived animals show a similar pattern of sucrose solution and water ingestion when the intake is monitored carefully over the course of an exposure session. Thus, thirsty animals did not show a specific preference as a function of the particular manipulation used to induce that thirst. They did, however, show an ingestion pattern or profile which reflected the relative strength of the drive induced by a given manipulation.
