本文提出了一种治疗包，已经证明成功增加粮食验收谁表现出选择性的食物儿童先行操作组成。值得注意的是，本文提出了一套可在不使用逃脱灭绝的有效的程序。这些方法都与以往的文献一致（彭洛德等，2012）这表明，一个整形过程可以被用来增加食品的接受与谁搞活动的拒食的孩子（ 如投掷食物和作呕），而无需执行灭绝逃生程序。 该协议的一个关键组成...

食物选择，定义为基于不愿对食品的某些方面尝试新的食物（ 例如 ，质地，颜色，或演示文稿）经常刻画幼儿自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）和其他发育迟缓2的摄食行为， 4,7,10。 虽然谁表现出选择性的食物孩子们经常吃一些食物，这些食物都经常受到限制的品种（ 如小吃和碳水化合物），可能无法提供足够的营养。食物选择性可能永远不会导致总拒食需要医疗关注（ 例如 ，发育停滞或胃饲管的插入的诊断）然而，儿童食品选择性的有限的食物全集可导致营养不足。 一种有效的干预，以增加儿童急性食物选择食物验收逃脱灭绝，在不搬迁的形式勺子和/或物理指导1,6,11。 谁搞严重适应不良饮食行为的儿童经常搞粮食总拒绝，导致有限的体重增加和增长，可能需要使用胃管喂养。当一个孩子的喂养行为是影响其发展，逃脱灭绝可能是至关重要的快速增加食物的接受。例如，库珀和他的同事发现，5逃脱这是灭绝在3 4谁所有展出穷人的经济增长和从事发脾气参与者的行为（ 如 ，作呕，随地 ​​吐痰和尖叫）治疗包的必要组成部分，当食物被提出。 逃脱灭绝已被反复证明在治疗包小儿慢性喂养问题，但一个重要组件;这些程序可能没有必要为儿童谁从事较轻摄食行为（ 即 ，食物selectiv性）。谁搞严重的摄食行为的儿童可能不同于谁从事食品选择性的孩子，在严重的摄食行为可能涉及总拒食，其中儿童食品的选择性可能会消耗一些食物，但在有限的范围和营养价值。 食物即使是数量有限的一致食用，会导致儿童被响应加固为基础的干预，不需要增加逃生灭绝。对于自闭症儿童，积极强化过程被视为最佳实践9，应在食品选择性的治疗来实现，当孩子的行为可能无法保证使用逃脱灭绝。对使用前因操作和积极的强化方法尽可能替代使用逃生灭绝的最近的研究表明，这些方法可能是有效的一些孩子谁表现出选择性的食物-3,11,12- </s向上&gt;。 研究评价使用前因操作来治疗食物选择性已将各种程序，包括高-对序列6,11,12和顺序和同时食品介绍1,8,13。研究评估这些程序的结果表明，先行操作可有效增加粮食验收谁搞食品的选择性12,14的孩子。例如，彭洛德和他的同事12有效地增加了粮食消费的两个孩子确诊为自闭症谁从事食品主动拒绝（ 例如 ，随地 ​​吐痰，作呕，呕吐），使用治疗套装包 ​​括一个高-P序列和需求衰减的过程。 的方式，优选的和非优选的食物呈现（ 例如 ，顺序与同时呈现）也可能有助于治疗包谁从事的有效性为儿童食物的选择性。两个连续的（即，呈现所述非优选的食品随后优选食品）和同步（即，结合的非优选的和优选的食品在一起）上介绍的方法已经证明在提高食品的接受13,14一些成功。例如，广场等 13发现，同时演示过程中，没有逃脱灭绝是有效地增加食物的接受3 4的参与者和顺序介绍是无效的2人参加。相比之下，皮佐和他的同事14成功用于治疗由包介绍顺序和食欲操纵，以增加食物的接受一个16岁的男孩与ASD。而在何种程度上这些演示程序成功不加逃生灭绝不清;一些研究表明，这些程序可以是一种有效的前因操作对于一些儿童。更多resear通道必须确定的两个在治疗产品的连续和同时的程序不包括一个转义消光成分的效用。 在对谁从事食品选择性儿童设计的治疗套餐，考虑谁吃的食物数量有限的孩子和那些谁搞总拒食，因为这可能会影响反应干预之间的差异是很重要的。对于谁搞食品选择性的孩子，父母和医生可能不太愿意实施侵入逃生灭绝程序，因为他们可能无法查看孩子的行为是严重的，足以保证这些干预措施。 Tarbox，希夫和Najdowski 15表明轶事报告表明，逃逸灭绝过程可能是困难的家长接受。这组作者提出，这可能是评价其他行为治疗程序的有效性，可能是​​较少干扰的情况下非常有用在这里逃脱灭绝可能由父母来不被接受。 从结果评价的研究提供的证据表明，先行操作是治疗包食物选择的重要和强大的组件。先行操作可采取多种形式（ 例如 ，高-对序列和顺序和同时食品介绍），它是重要的研究主要集中在其上的组件可在治疗产品的结合，以有效地提高食品的接受不加入逃逸灭绝;因为这些措施可能会提供较少干扰的替代品时，逃生灭绝程序是没有必要的。这份手稿描述了一个处理包，结合整形，顺序和同步演示程序。当与其它先行操作相组合，但以前没有被组合在治疗包，这些程序已经有效地提高食品的接受。目前原COL通过包括他们在一个处理包，可作为治疗的第一线，可以由家长，教师，医生和有限的培训寻求更多的强化治疗前实施一个整形过程的延伸，并连续同时呈现手续文献。

A Procedure to Study the Effect of Prolonged Food Restriction on Heroin Seeking in Abstinent Rats

In human drug addicts, exposure to drug-associated cues or environments that were previously associated with drug taking can trigger relapse during abstinence. Moreover, various environmental challenges can exacerbate this effect, as well as increase ongoing drug intake.
The procedure we describe here highlights the impact of a common environmental challenge, food restriction, on drug craving that is expressed as an augmentation of drug seeking in abstinent rats.
Rats are implanted with chronic intravenous i.v. catheters, and then trained to press a lever for i.v. heroin over a period of 10-12 days. Following the heroin self-administration phase the rats are removed from the operant conditioning chambers and housed in the animal care facility for a period of at least 14 days. While one group is maintained under unrestricted access to food (sated group), a second group (FDR group) is exposed to a mild food restriction regimen that results in their body weights maintained at 90% of their nonrestricted body weight. On day 14 of food restriction the rats are transferred back to the drug-training environment, and a drug-seeking test is run under extinction conditions (i.e.&#160;lever presses do not result in heroin delivery).
The procedure presented here results in a highly robust augmentation of heroin seeking on test day in the food restricted rats. In addition, compared to the acute food deprivation manipulations we have used before, the current procedure is a more clinically relevant model for the impact of caloric restriction on drug seeking. Moreover, it might be closer to the human condition as the rats are not required to go through an extinction-training phase before the drug-seeking test, which is an integral component of the popular reinstatement procedure.

A procedure that allows a demonstration of robust augmentation of drug seeking in food-restricted rats is described. Following heroin self-administration training, rats go through an abstinence period, in a drug-free environment, during which they are mildly food restricted. Drug seeking is then tested in the drug-associated environment.

Measuring Sensitivity to Viewpoint Change with and without Stereoscopic Cues

The speed and accuracy of object recognition is compromised by a change in viewpoint; demonstrating that human observers are sensitive to this transformation. Here we discuss a novel method for simulating the appearance of an object that has undergone a rotation-in-depth, and include an exposition of the differences between perspective and orthographic projections. Next we describe a method by which human sensitivity to rotation-in-depth can be measured. Finally we discuss an apparatus for creating a vivid percept of a 3-dimensional rotation-in-depth; the Wheatstone Eight Mirror Stereoscope. By doing so, we reveal a means by which to evaluate the role of stereoscopic cues in the discrimination of viewpoint rotated shapes and objects.

We discuss a novel method forviewpoint-rotation of visual stimuli, and demonstrate using a mirror stereoscopethe three-dimensional percept of rotation-in-depth. The technique can be used to investigate the role of stereoscopic cues in encoding viewpoint-rotated figures.

Barnes Maze Testing Strategies with Small and Large Rodent Models

Spatial learning and memory of laboratory rodents is often assessed via navigational ability in mazes, most popular of which are the water and dry-land (Barnes) mazes. Improved performance over sessions or trials is thought to reflect learning and memory of the escape cage/platform location. Considered less stressful than water mazes, the Barnes maze is a relatively simple design of a circular platform top with several holes equally spaced around the perimeter edge. All but one of the holes are false-bottomed or blind-ending, while one leads to an escape cage. Mildly aversive stimuli (e.g.&#160;bright overhead lights) provide motivation to locate the escape cage. Latency to locate the escape cage can be measured during the session; however, additional endpoints typically require video recording. From those video recordings, use of automated tracking software can generate a variety of endpoints that are similar to those produced in water mazes (e.g.&#160;distance traveled, velocity/speed, time spent in the correct quadrant, time spent moving/resting, and confirmation of latency). Type of search strategy (i.e.&#160;random, serial, or direct) can be categorized as well. Barnes maze construction and testing methodologies can differ for small rodents, such as mice, and large rodents, such as rats. For example, while extra-maze cues are effective for rats, smaller wild rodents may require intra-maze cues with a visual barrier around the maze. Appropriate stimuli must be identified which motivate the rodent to locate the escape cage. Both Barnes and water mazes can be time consuming as 4-7 test trials are typically required to detect improved learning and memory performance (e.g.&#160;shorter latencies or path lengths to locate the escape platform or cage) and/or differences between experimental groups. Even so, the Barnes maze is a widely employed behavioral assessment measuring spatial navigational abilities and their potential disruption by genetic, neurobehavioral manipulations, or drug/ toxicant exposure.

The dry-land Barnes maze is widely used to measure spatial navigation ability in response to mildly aversive stimuli. Over consecutive days, performance (e.g.&#160;latency to locate escape cage) of control subjects improves, indicative of normal learning and memory. Differences between rats and mice necessitate apparatus and methodology changes that are detailed here.

Studying Food Reward and Motivation in Humans

A key challenge in studying reward processing in humans is to go beyond subjective self-report measures and quantify different aspects of reward such as hedonics, motivation, and goal value in more objective ways. This is particularly relevant for the understanding of overeating and obesity as well as their potential treatments. In this paper are described a set of measures of food-related motivation using handgrip force as a motivational measure. These methods can be used to examine changes in food related motivation with metabolic (satiety) and pharmacological manipulations and can be used to evaluate interventions targeted at overeating and obesity. However to understand food-related decision making in the complex food environment it is essential to be able to ascertain the reward goal values that guide the decisions and behavioral choices that people make. These values are hidden but it is possible to ascertain them more objectively using metrics such as the willingness to pay and a method for this is described. Both these sets of methods provide quantitative measures of motivation and goal value that can be compared within and between individuals.

This article describes a set of methods for the measurement of food related motivation and food related goal values in humans.

Assessment of Murine Exercise Endurance Without the Use of a Shock Grid: An Alternative to Forced Exercise

Using laboratory mouse models, the molecular pathways responsible for the metabolic benefits of endurance exercise are beginning to be defined. The most common method for assessing exercise endurance in mice utilizes forced running on a motorized treadmill equipped with a shock grid. Animals who quit running are pushed by the moving treadmill belt onto a grid that delivers an electric foot shock; to escape the negative stimulus, the mice return to running on the belt. However, avoidance behavior and psychological stress due to use of a shock apparatus can interfere with quantitation of running endurance, as well as confound measurements of postexercise serum hormone and cytokine levels. Here, we demonstrate and validate a refined method to measure running endurance in na&#239;ve C57BL/6 laboratory mice on a motorized treadmill without utilizing a shock grid. When mice are preacclimated to the treadmill, they run voluntarily with gait speeds specific to each mouse. Use of the shock grid is replaced by gentle encouragement by a human operator using a tongue depressor, coupled with sensitivity to the voluntary willingness to run on the part of the mouse. Clear endpoints for quantifying running time-to-exhaustion for each mouse are defined and reflected in behavioral signs of exhaustion such as splayed posture and labored breathing. This method is a humane refinement which also decreases the confounding effects of stress on experimental parameters.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation as a Tool to Induce Plasticity in Pathways Relevant for Extinction Learning

Extinction describes the process of attenuating behavioral responses to neutral stimuli when they no longer provide the reinforcement that has been maintaining the behavior. There is close correspondence between fear and human anxiety, and therefore studies of extinction learning might provide insight into the biological nature of anxiety-related disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder, and they might help to develop strategies to treat them. Preclinical research aims to aid extinction learning and to induce targeted plasticity in extinction circuits to consolidate the newly formed memory. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a powerful approach that provides tight temporal and circuit-specific release of neurotransmitters, resulting in modulation of neuronal networks engaged in an ongoing task. VNS enhances memory consolidation in both rats and humans, and pairing VNS with exposure to conditioned cues enhances the consolidation of extinction learning in rats. Here, we provide a detailed protocol for the preparation of custom-made parts and the surgical procedures required for VNS in rats. Using this protocol we show how VNS can facilitate the extinction of conditioned fear responses in an auditory fear conditioning task. In addition, we provide evidence that VNS modulates synaptic plasticity in the pathway between the infralimbic (IL) medial prefrontal cortex and the basolateral complex of the amygdala (BLA), which is involved in the expression and modulation of extinction memory.

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has emerged as a tool to induce targeted synaptic plasticity in the forebrain to modify a range of behaviors. This protocol describes how to implement VNS to facilitate the consolidation of fear extinction memory.

Errors as a Means of Reducing Impulsive Food Choice

Nowadays, the increasing incidence of eating disorders due to poor self-control has given rise to increased obesity and other chronic weight problems, and ultimately, to reduced life expectancy. The capacity to refrain from automatic responses is usually high in situations in which making errors is highly likely. The protocol described here aims at reducing imprudent preference in women during hypothetical intertemporal choices about appetitive food by associating it with errors. First, participants undergo an error task where two different edible stimuli are associated with two different error likelihoods (high and low). Second, they make intertemporal choices about the two edible stimuli, separately. As a result, this method decreases the discount rate for future amounts of the edible reward that cued higher error likelihood, selectively. This effect is under the influence of the self-reported hunger level. The present protocol demonstrates that errors, well known as motivationally salient events, can induce the recruitment of cognitive control, thus being ultimately useful in reducing impatient choices for edible commodities.

Giving in to temptation of tasty food may result in long-term overweight problems. This protocol describes how to reduce imprudent preference for edible commodities during hypothetical intertemporal choices in women by associating them with errors.

Protocol for Data Collection and Analysis Applied to Automated Facial Expression Analysis Technology and Temporal Analysis for Sensory Evaluation

We demonstrate a method for capturing emotional response to beverages and liquefied foods in a sensory evaluation laboratory using automated facial expression analysis (AFEA) software. Additionally, we demonstrate a method for extracting relevant emotional data output and plotting the emotional response of a population over a specified time frame. By time pairing each participant's treatment response to a control stimulus (baseline), the overall emotional response over time and across multiple participants can be quantified. AFEA is a prospective analytical tool for assessing unbiased response to food and beverages. At present, most research has mainly focused on beverages. Methodologies and analyses have not yet been standardized for the application of AFEA to beverages and foods; however, a consistent standard methodology is needed. Optimizing video capture procedures and resulting video quality aids in a successful collection of emotional response to foods. Furthermore, the methodology of data analysis is novel for extracting the pertinent data relevant to the emotional response. The combinations of video capture optimization and data analysis will aid in standardizing the protocol for automated facial expression analysis and interpretation of emotional response data.

A protocol for capturing and statistically analyzing emotional response of a population to beverages and liquefied foods in a sensory evaluation laboratory using automated facial expression analysis software is described.

Feeding Experimentation Device (FED): Construction and Validation of an Open-source Device for Measuring Food Intake in Rodents

Food intake measurements are essential for many research studies. Here, we provide a detailed description of a novel solution for measuring food intake in mice: the Feeding Experimentation Device (FED). FED is an open-source system that was designed to facilitate flexibility in food intake studies. Due to its compact and battery powered design, FED can be placed within standard home cages or other experimental equipment. Food intake measurements can also be synchronized with other equipment in real-time via FED's transistor-transistor logic (TTL) digital output, or in post-acquisition processing as FED timestamps every event with a real-time clock. When in use, a food pellet sits within FED's food well where it is monitored via an infrared beam. When the pellet is removed by the mouse, FED logs the timestamp onto its internal secure digital (SD) card and dispenses another pellet. FED can run for up to 5 days before it is necessary to charge the battery and refill the pellet hopper, minimizing human interference in data collection. Assembly of FED requires minimal engineering background, and off-the-shelf materials and electronics were prioritized in its construction. We also provide scripts for analysis of food intake and meal patterns. Finally, FED is open-source and all design and construction files are online, to facilitate modifications and improvements by other researchers.

Combining Quantitative Food-intake Assays and Forcibly Activating Neurons to Study Appetite in Drosophila

Food consumption is under the tight control of the brain, which integrates the physiological status, palatability, and nutritional contents of the food, and issues commands to start or stop feeding. Deciphering the processes underlying the decision-making of timely and moderate feeding carries major implications in our understanding of physiological and psychological disorders related to feeding control. Simple, quantitative, and robust methods are required to measure the food ingestion of animals after experimental manipulation, such as forcibly increasing the activities of certain target neurons. Here, we introduced dye-labeling-based feeding assays to facilitate the neurogenetic study of feeding control in adult fruit flies. We review available feeding assays, and then describe our methods step-by-step from setup to analysis, which combine thermogenetic and optogenetic manipulation of neurons controlling feeding motivation with dye-labeled food intake assay. We also discuss the advantages and limitations of our methods, compared with other feeding assays, to help readers choose an appropriate assay.
