Abstract
⺠Progressive ratio performance examined after drug injections in accumbens shell. ⺠Amphetamine increased responding for water reward. ⺠The amphetamine effect was due to increased duration of sessions. ⺠Muscimol increased food intake, but did not increase responding for water. ⺠We conclude that inactivation of the shell does not increase willingness to work for water.
