<p class="jove_title"> 1. Tierhaltung und Akklimatisierung Procedures </p><ol><li> Männlich Long Evans Ratten mit einem Gewicht von 300-325 g zum Zeitpunkt der Ankunft in das Vivarium, sind einzeln in Standard-Kunststoff-Käfigen mit Recyclingpapier Pellet Betten, mit Drahtgitter-Deckel, um Wasserflaschen und Lebensmittel Platz untergebracht. </li><li> Ratten sind auf eine umgekehrte Hell-Dunkel-Zeitplan (Lichter von 19.00 bis 07.00 Uhr) gehalten, in einer Temperatur-und Feuchte-kontrollierten Vivarium. </li><li> Lebensmittel und Wasser werden ad libitum zur Verfügung in der Wohnung Käfigen während des gesamten Experiments. </li><li> Ratten sind erlaubt, um das Vivarium und Wohnbedingungen für eine Woche vor der Operation zu akklimatisieren. Während dieser Zeit Ratten sind ungestört, mit Ausnahme der regelmäßigen Reinigung Fütterung und Überwachung von Gewicht. </li></ol><p class="jove_title"> 2. Intravenöse Katheterisierung Chirurgie </p><ol><li> Unter Isofluran-Gas Anästhesie und Verwendung der üblichen aseptischen chirurgischen Techniken, sind Ratten, die mit Silastic Katheter in die rechte Jugularvene vorbereitet. Der Katheter tritt in einer modifizierten Kanüle (Plastics One) an der Oberfläche des Schädels, und die Kanüle an den Schädel mit Juwelieren Schrauben und Zahnzement befestigt. Einzelheiten zu den chirurgischen Verfahren, siehe <sup>7, 8.</sup> </li><li> Am Ende der Operation werden Katheter mit ca. 0,2 ml einer Lösung mit 50% Heparin (1000 IU) und 50% Dextrose (25 g/50 ml) gespült. Ein Kunststoff-Blocker wird über die Öffnung der Kanüle, um den Katheter von außen Schmutz zu schützen, und Katheter Durchgängigkeit zu erhalten platziert. </li><li> Zum Zeitpunkt der Operation, und wieder am Tag nach der Operation werden Ratten 5 mg / kg, SC, der analgetischen Ketoprofen verwaltet. </li><li> Ratten sind eine Frist von mindestens sieben Tage, um sich von der Operation vor Experimentieren zu erholen. Während dieser Zeit sind Ratten ungestört in die Käfige, mit Ausnahme der regelmäßigen Reinigung und Fütterung, und die tägliche Überwachung von Gewicht und die allgemeine Gesundheit. Am letzten Tag der Erholungsphase werden Katheter mit Heparin / Dextrose-Lösung (Abschnitt 2.2), um Katheter Durchgängigkeit zu überprüfen gespült. </li></ol><p class="jove_title"> 3. Behavioral Procedures </p><p class="jove_content"> Alle Verhaltens-Verfahren werden mit Hilfe von Geräten von Med Associates Inc. (St Albans, VT) zugeführt wird. Die Ausrüstung, in einem eigenen Raum untergebracht, umfasst eine Reihe von Standard-operante Kammern, die jeweils innerhalb einer schalldämpfenden Gehäuse enthalten. Jeder operante Kammer ist mit zwei versenkbaren Hebel, sowohl erhöhten 6,5 cm über einem Stab aus rostfreiem Stahl Fußboden ausgestattet. Ein weißes Licht Reiz liegt knapp über einem Hebel befindet, und Antworten auf, dass der Hebel (der sogenannten &quot;aktiven&quot; Hebel) führen zur gleichzeitigen Beleuchtung des Stimulus Licht und Aktivierung einer Infusionspumpe (Razel Scientific Instruments, St. Albans, VT). Die Pumpe ist auf einem Regal direkt vor dem operante Kammer befindet, aber innerhalb der schallschwächende Gehäuse. Der andere Hebel (die so genannte &quot;inaktive&quot; Hebel) ist links verlängerte in der Kammer in allen experimentellen Verfahren; reagiert auf dieses Hebels ist ohne Folgen. Schließlich ist jede Kammer ausgestattet, um mit konstantem Strom, intermittierend, unausweichlich, elektrischen Fußschock durch einen Scrambler liefern die Stahlstange Boden. Alle experimentellen Bedingungen (zB Reiz-Präsentationen, Infusion von Medikamenten, Defibrillation), sowie die Datenerfassung und der Konsolidierung werden über Schnittstellen zwischen den Test-Kammern und einem zentralen Computer-Betriebssystem Med Associates Software (MED-IV) durchgeführt. </p><p class="jove_content"> Der Versuch wird in 5 Phasen durchgeführt: 1) Habituation, 2) Cocaine SA, 3) Drug-free Zeit, 4) Extinction und 5) Prüfung auf Wiedereinstellung. In allen Phasen (außer für die Arzneimittel-Zeit), werden Ratten für den täglichen Sessions aus dem Gehäuse Platz für die operante Prüfkammern übertragen. Die Tiere werden einzeln, in kleinen Plastikbehältern übertragen. Lebensmittel und Wasser sind nicht in der operante Kammern zur Verfügung. </p><ol><li> Gewöhnung <ol><li> Vierundzwanzig Stunden vor dem ersten Kokain-SA-Sitzung (. Siehe Abschnitt 3.2), sind Ratten dürfen die operante Kammern während einer 2-h-Sitzung zu gewöhnen; während dieser Sitzung die aktive Hebel zurückgezogen wird. </li></ol></li><li> Cocaine SA Ausbildung <ol><li> Vor jeder täglichen Trainingseinheit werden Ratten in dem Gehäuse Platz gewogen. Anschließend werden sie auf die operante Kammern übertragen. </li><li> Auf in die operante Kammern, einer Feder und Schlauchsystem (die sich von der Droge Infusionspumpe) angeordnet wird, um den Schädel montiert Kanüle verbunden. </li><li> Ratten sind zu dürfen selbst verabreichen Kokain HCl während der täglichen 3-h-Sitzungen, für eine Gesamtmenge von 8-10 Tagen (entweder nacheinander oder mit zwei dazwischen liegenden &quot;freien Tage&quot; zwischen den Sitzungen 5 und 6). </li><li> SA-Sitzungen abwechselnd am Morgen (9.00 bis 00.00 Uhr) und nachmittags (13:00-16:00). Der Zeitpunkt der SA-Sitzungen wird abgewechselt, weil die Verfahren in späteren Phasen des Experiments (dh Aussterben und Prüfung) an beiden t auftretenimes der Tag für alle Tiere (siehe Abschnitte 3.4 und 3.5), so verhindert diese Anordnung eine verwirrende Effekte der Tageszeit bei zukünftigen Drogen-sucht Verhalten. </li><li> Jede Trainingseinheit wird durch eine 5-min Eingewöhnungszeit voraus, in der Tiere in die operante Kammern mit der aktiven Hebel eingefahren platziert werden. </li><li> Zu Beginn des Trainings ist die aktive Hebel in die Kammer erweitert und der Reiz Licht (befindet sich oberhalb der aktiven Hebel) ist für 30 beleuchtet s. Darüber hinaus ist das Haus Licht in dieser Zeit aktiviert und bleibt während der gesamten Sitzung beleuchtet. Insgesamt signalisieren diese Ereignisse die Verfügbarkeit von Kokain. </li><li> Während der Sitzung werden die Antworten auf die aktive Hebel durch eine 3-s Infusion von Kokain (0,23 mg/65 ul, iv) auf einem festen Verhältnis-1 Zeitplan der Bewehrung verstärkt. Zeitgleich mit Aktivierung der Infusionspumpe und Drug Delivery ist eine 20-s Aktivierung des Stimulus Licht oberhalb der aktiven Hebel. Dieser 20-s Licht Darstellung entspricht einem &quot;time-out&quot; Zeitraum, in dem zusätzliche aktive Hebel Reaktionen aufgezeichnet, aber nicht verstärkt. </li><li> Die Tiere sind bis zu 50 Infusionen pro 3-h-Sitzung erlaubt. Wir routinemäßig zu verhängen dieses Kriterium in unserer Arbeit und unserer Erfahrung, haben herausgefunden, dass es stark reduziert, wenn nicht eliminiert, Zwischenfälle der Todesfälle durch Überdosis. </li><li> Am Ende eines jeden täglichen Sitzung werden Ratten Katheter mit 0,2-0,3 mL Heparin-Dextrose-Lösung gespült (siehe Abschnitt 2.2) und die Ratten in ihre Heimat Käfig zurück. </li></ol></li><li> Drug-free Zeit <ol><li> Nach dem letzten Kokain SA-Sitzung werden Ratten in Ruhe gelassen (mit Ausnahme der regelmäßigen Reinigung, Fütterung und Überwachung von Gewicht) in ihre Heimat Käfig für ein Minimum von sieben Tagen. </li></ol></li><li> Extinction von Kokain ausgebildete Verhalten <ol><li> Ratten sind die operante Kammern zwischen 9.00 bis 10.00 Uhr für vom Aussterben Ausbildung übertragen. </li><li> Die Frühjahrs-und Schlauchsystem wird dem Schädel montiert Kanüle verbunden. </li><li> In Übereinstimmung mit den Bedingungen für die SA Training ist jeden Tag vom Aussterben Einweisung durch einen 5-min Eingewöhnungszeit voraus, in der Tiere in die operante Kammern mit der aktiven Hebel eingefahren platziert werden. </li><li> Ratten sind dann vier 60-min Aussterben Sitzungen gegeben, getrennt durch 30-Minuten-Intervallen. Jede 60-minütige Sitzung wird durch die gleichen Ereignisse, die zu Beginn des Trainings (dh, Beleuchtung des Hauses Licht, Verlängerung der aktiven Hebel, und 30-sec-Beleuchtung des Stimulus Licht oberhalb der aktiven Hebel) auftreten eingeleitet. Während der Sitzungen werden alle Bedingungen, die derzeit beim Training SA gehalten wurden (dh response-Kontingent Ausleuchtung des Stimulus Licht für 20 Sek. und 3-s Aktivierung der Infusionspumpe), außer dass aktiver Hebel Antworten sind nicht mehr verstärkt mit Kokain Infusionen . Während der 30-Minuten-Intervallen, die jeweils 60-min Aussterben Sitzung zu trennen, ist die aktive Hebel zurückgezogen und das Haus Licht erloschen ist. </li><li> Am Ende des letzten 60-min-Sitzung werden Ratten in ihre Heimat Käfig zurück. </li><li> Schritte 3.4.1. auf 3.4.5. werden an 3 aufeinanderfolgenden Tagen wiederholt. </li></ol></li><li> Wiedereinsetzung von Kokain ausgebildete Verhalten Fußschock Stress <ol><li> Ratten sind die operante Kammern zwischen 9.00 bis 10.00 Uhr übertragen </li><li> Auf in die operante Kammern gelegt, wird die Feder-und Schlauchsystem auf den Schädel montiert Kanüle verbunden. </li><li> In Übereinstimmung mit den Bedingungen für die Ausbildung und Aussterben, ist ein 5-min Eingewöhnungszeit vorgesehen, während die Ratten in die operante Kammern mit der aktiven Hebel platziert sind eingefahren. </li><li> Ratten sind dann zwei 60-min Aussterben Sitzungen (siehe 3.4.4.) Von einem 30-min Intervall getrennt, identisch mit denen während der vom Aussterben Phase gegeben wird. </li><li> Wenn nach dem zweiten 60-min-Sitzung die Gesamtzahl der Antworten auf die vorher aktive Hebel beträgt weniger als 15 Tiere sind ein Test für Wiedereinstellung nach einer zusätzlichen 30-Minuten-Intervall gegeben. In diesem 30-Minuten-Intervall wird Fußschock oder sham Fußschock (dh keine Fußschock) verabreicht werden (siehe 3.5.6.). Wenn ein Kriterium von 15 oder weniger Antworten auf die aktive Hebel nicht nach der zweiten Sitzung erreicht, ist eine zusätzliche Aussterben Sitzung (en) vor der Wiedereinstellung Tests gegeben. </li><li> Zehn Minuten nach dem zweiten 60-min Aussterben Sitzung (oder nach einer zusätzlichen 60-min Aussterben Session (s) erforderlich, um die vom Aussterben Kriterium von 15 oder weniger Reaktionen herzustellen), werden die Tiere 20 min von intermittierenden elektrischen Fußschock Stress (oder schein-exponierten Fußschock) in die operante Kammer. Fußschock wird während einer Zeit, als die aktive Hebel eingefahren ist und Haus-und Stimulus Lichter erloschen sind gegeben. Fußschock ist nach einem variablen Zeitplan bei einem mittleren Abstand von 40 s (10-70 s-Bereich) geliefert. Jeder Schlag wird mit einer Intensität von 0,9 mA geliefert und ist 0,5 s Dauer. Diese Parameter Fußschock basieren auf umfangreichen Pilot Arbeit basiertin unserem Labor durchgeführt, um zuverlässige Wiederherstellung von Kokain suchen zu etablieren, mit der minimalen Intensität und Dauer der Exposition Fußschock. Unter diesen Parameter, zeigen Tiere eine reflexive Springen Antwort auf die 0,5 s Schock und gelegentlich strahlen eine kurze Vokalisation. Obwohl Tiere während der Schock Zeitraum beobachtet werden, ist die Intensität der Schock nicht stark genug, um stärker ausgeprägt Anzeichen von Leiden auslösen. </li><li> Unmittelbar nach Beendigung des Fußschock Sitzung des aktiven Hebel verlängert wird und Ratten sind auf den Hebel drücken dürfen unter Aussterben Bedingungen (dh es werden Antworten nicht mit Kokain verstärkt, aber weiterhin in der Beleuchtung des Stimulus Licht und Aktivierung der Infusionspumpe Ergebnis ). Dieser Zeitraum wird als Test für Wiedereinstellung definiert und wird in der Regel 1-3 Stunden Dauer. Die meisten reagieren tritt in den frühen Teil der Test-Session (erste 30 min-1 h), und anschließend löscht über mehr verlängert Prüfzeiten. Somit ist eine 1 h-Test ausreicht, um die Wiedereinstellung Wirkung zu erfassen, mit längeren Prüffristen bietet eine vollständige Auslöschung Profil des Effekts. </li><li> Wenn eine wiederholte Messungen Design eingesetzt wird, ist jede Ratte unter Fußschock und Schein Fußschock Bedingungen getestet. Schritte 3.5.1. bis 3.5.8 sind auf einem anschließenden Test am Tag wiederholt, und die alternativen Test auf Wiedereinsetzung (Fußschock oder sham Fußschock) verabreicht wird. </li></ol></li></ol><p class="jove_title"> 4. Repräsentative Ergebnisse: </p><p class="jove_content"><img src="/files/ftp_upload/2265/2265fig1.jpg" alt="Abbildung 1" /><br /> <strong>Abbildung 1.</strong> Stylized Antwort Profile für die Aktivität auf der aktiven und inaktiven Hebel während Selbstverwaltung Ausbildung, Aussterben und Wiedereinsetzung Prüfung. </p><p class="jove_content"> Abbildung 1 zeigt stilisiert operante Antwort-Profile, die typisch für jene, die während der verschiedenen Phasen der experimentellen Protokoll beschriebenen erhalten. </p><p class="jove_step"> 1. Aktive Hebel Antworten </p><ol><li> <em>Cocaine SA Ausbildung.</em> Abbildung 1 (links) zeigt einen typischen Kokain SA Lernkurve, dass sowohl der Anzahl der Infusionen und die Gesamtzahl der aktiven Hebelpressen umfasst. Ratten in der Regel erwerben Kokain SA innerhalb von 1-3 Sitzungen und einmal das Verhalten festgestellt wird, eine stabile Rate von Medikamenteneinnahme (in der Regel weniger als 20% zwischen den Sitzungen Varianz) über nachfolgenden Sitzungen. </li><li> <em>Extinction von Kokain ausgebildete Verhalten.</em> Es kann in Abbildung 1 zu sehen (Mitte), die an Tag 1 der Auslöschung, wenn Antworten nicht verstärkt werden zum ersten Mal, die Gesamtzahl der Antworten auf die aktive Hebel zunächst höher ist als bei der Ende der Trainingsphase (entsprechend einer sogenannten &quot;Auslöschung burst&quot;); allmählich, über die vier vom Aussterben Sitzungen reagiert abnimmt. An den Tagen 2 und 3 des Aussterbens, kann eine gewisse Erholung zu reagieren (bezogen auf die während der letzten Sitzung des Vortages zu beobachten) beobachtet werden, jedoch sind die Reaktionen in der Regel weniger als zu Beginn des Vortages vom Aussterben bedroht, und das Aussterben der Regel schneller abläuft als die vier Sitzungen für diesen Tag. </li><li> <em>Wiedereinsetzung von Kokain suchen.</em> Es in Abbildung 1 (rechts) ist ersichtlich, dass 20 min von der Exposition gegenüber intermittierenden Fußschock eine Zunahme in unbewehrte reagiert auf die aktive Hebel, bezogen auf die am Ende der vorhergehenden Sitzung vom Aussterben beobachtet induziert. Fußschock induziert auch eine Zunahme bei der Reaktion in Bezug auf die unter Bedingungen, unter denen sham Fußschock verabreicht wird beobachtet. So kann die Wiedereinsetzung von Kokain suchen nach Fußschock Stress entweder als ausgedrückt werden: 1) die erhöhte Anzahl von unverstärkten Reaktionen nach Exposition mit Fußschock, bezogen auf Antworten in der vom Aussterben Sitzung vor Fußschock oder 2) die gestiegene Zahl der unverstärkten Reaktionen nach Fußschock gegenüber sham Fußschock. </li></ol><p class="jove_step"> 2. Inaktive Hebel Antworten </p><p class="jove_content"> Es kann in Abbildung 1 (rote Linie), dass in allen experimentellen Phasen, es gibt nur sehr geringe Reaktionszeiten mit der inaktiven Hebel verbunden gesehen werden. Allerdings ist ein leichter Anstieg bei der Reaktion auf diesen Hebel manchmal nach Exposition gegenüber Fußschock Stress beobachtet. Selbst in Fällen, in denen eine solche Erhöhung in Reaktion tritt, neigt der Anstieg der aktiven Hebel reagiert werden proportional wesentlich größer. </p>

<p class="jove_content"> In den letzten Jahrzehnten haben sich drei Varianten der SA Wiedereinsetzung Verfahren entwickelt worden, um Wiedereinsetzung des Medikaments sucht im Labor Ratten und Affen zu studieren. Die Unterschiede, die verfahrensrechtlichen Unterschiede definieren betreffen in erster Linie, ob Drogen SA, Aussterben und Testsitzungen am selben Tag oder an verschiedenen Tagen <sup>1</sup> auftreten. Das Verfahren, das wir in diesem Papier beschrieben haben, ist allgemein als &quot;within-zwischen&quot; Session-Variante, weil Drogen SA tritt bei der täglichen Sitzungen (dh in einer zwischen den Sitzungen Weise), die getrennt von Aussterben und Test-Sessions bezeichnet werden, aber vom Aussterben und Prüfung auftreten am selben Tag (dh in einem in-session Weise) [z. B. <sup>7, 9].</sup> Alternativ kann in sogenannten &quot;zwischen den Sitzungen&quot;-Verfahren, treten in allen Phasen des Experiments nacheinander, so dass SA, Aussterben und Testsitzungen an verschiedenen Tagen gegeben werden (dh alle Phasen zwischen den Sitzungen) [z. B. <sup>8, 10, 11].</sup> Im Gegensatz dazu komplett &quot;in Sitzungen&quot;-Verfahren, SA Ausbildung, Aussterben und Test-Sessions alle treten innerhalb des gleichen Tages [zB <sup>12].</sup> </p><p class="jove_content"> Zwar gibt es Berichte über Fußschock-induzierte Wiederherstellung der Droge suchen mit verschiedenen Variationen der Wiedereinsetzung Verfahren veröffentlicht werden, haben wir festgestellt, diese Stressoren (zumindest bei Tieren mit einer Geschichte von Kokain SA) am wirksamsten zu sein, wenn Aussterben und Prüfung auf dem gleichen auftreten Tag (dh in einem &quot;within-zwischen&quot; Sessions Weise). Alternativ haben wir hatten Erfolg mit der Erlangung zuverlässiger Fußschock-induzierte Wiederherstellung von Kokain suchen nach einem völlig &quot;zwischen den Sitzungen&quot;-Verfahren, aber nur unter Bedingungen, unter denen Tiere in der SA Kammern während des gesamten Versuchs <sup>8,</sup> oder zumindest während Aussterben und Prüfung untergebracht sind <sup>13.</sup> Der Nachteil dieser zwischen den Sitzungen Ansatz, über die in der vorliegenden Protokoll beschrieben, ist, dass es die Zahl der Themen, die geschult und geprüft werden zur gleichen Zeit kann Grenzen und damit sinkt die Effizienz der Datenerhebung. Obwohl unter den Bedingungen des vorliegenden Protokolls nur eine Gruppe von Tieren kann gelöscht und getestet werden zu einem gegebenen Zeitpunkt kann ein höherer Durchsatz durch die Staffelung von 1 Woche die Startzeit der SA Trainingsphase für zwei Gruppen von Ratten erzielt werden. In diesem Szenario kann eine erste Gruppe von Ratten geben Sie den drogenfreien Phase als die zweite Gruppe tritt Week 2 von SA Ausbildung, und in der Folge vom Aussterben und Prüfung kann in der ersten Gruppe durchgeführt werden, während die zweite Gruppe ist in ihrer Drogen- -freie Phase. Dieser Ansatz ermöglicht eine effizientere Nutzung von Ressourcen und beschleunigt die Datenerfassung, während die zu sehr effektive und zuverlässige Fußschock-induzierte Wiedereinstellung. </p><p class="jove_content"> Wichtig ist, dass in unserem Verfahren, tritt Aussterben der zuvor Drogen verstärkt das Verhalten und Prüfungen für die Wiedereinsetzung in Gegenwart von Medikamenten-assoziierte Cues. Obwohl wir nie haben Aussterben Ausbildung oder Prüfung in der Abwesenheit von Medikamenten-assoziierte Cues durchgeführt, ist es unser Verständnis, basierend auf der persönlichen Kommunikation, dass der Stressor kann in der Tat unwirksam sein bei der Induktion Wiedereinstellung bei der Prüfung erfolgt in der Abwesenheit von ausgelöscht Cues ( zumindest im Fall von Tieren mit einer Geschichte von Kokain SA). Eine systematische Untersuchung dieser Variablen, und die theoretischen Implikationen sie mit sich bringt, ist eine wichtige Frage für die zukünftige Forschung. </p><p class="jove_content"> Ein letzter Faktor, der prozeduralen Optionsscheinen Kommentar ist, dass die Wirkung von Stress auf Fußschock Wiedereinsetzung als sehr empfindlich auf Manipulationen Kontext erscheint. Zum Beispiel ist Fußschock Stress nur wirksam bei der Induktion die Wiedereinstellung von Medikamenten suchen, wenn es in der Umgebung, in der Drogen-SA und vom Aussterben auftreten verabreicht wird, das heißt, Fußschock nicht wieder Drogen sucht, wenn die Exposition um den Stressor tritt in einem neuen Kontext, was auf eine wichtige Interaktion zwischen dem Stressor und Drogen-Umgebung in ihren Auswirkungen auf Wiedereinsetzung <sup>14.</sup> </p><p class="jove_content"> Abschließend Fußschock Wiedereinsetzung Verfahren, wie die in diesem Papier beschrieben, haben mit großem Erfolg eingesetzt, um die grundlegenden Verhaltens-und neurobiologischen Mechanismen, die das Verhältnis zwischen Stress und Drogenkonsum Rückfall aufzuklären. In der Tat, diese Verfahren, wenn modifiziert werden, um pharmakologische Vorbehandlungen oder neurochemischen Manipulationen auf bestimmte neuronale Substrate aufnehmen kann als leistungsfähige Werkzeuge für die Charakterisierung der Neurobiologie der Wiedereinsetzung in Drogen-sucht durch Stress dienen. </p>

a procedure for studying the footshock-induced reinstatement of cocaine seeking in laboratory rats

<p class="jove_content"> Die heimtückischen Aspekt der Drogensucht ist die hohe Neigung zu Rückfällen. Tiermodelle der Rückfall, als Wiedereinsetzung Verfahren bekannt ist, wurden intensiv auf die Neurobiologie und Phänomenologie der Rückfall in den Drogenkonsum Studie verwendet. Obwohl Verfahrensvarianten in den letzten Jahrzehnten entstanden sind, sind die meisten herkömmlichen Verfahren Wiedereinstellung auf das Medikament Selbstverwaltung (SA)-Modell. In diesem Modell wird ein Tier trainiert, eine operante Reaktion auf Drogen durch zu führen. Anschließend wird das Verhalten durch das Zurückhalten response-Kontingent Verstärkung erloschen. Wiedereinsetzung von Medikamenten suchen wird dann durch eine diskrete Ereignis, wie eine Injektion des Trainings Drogen, wiederholter Exposition mit Medikamenten-assoziierte Cues, oder Exposition gegenüber einem Stressor <sup>1</sup> ausgelöst. </p><p class="jove_content"> Wiedereinsetzung Verfahren wurden ursprünglich entwickelt, um die Fähigkeit der akuten nicht-bedingten Exposition gegenüber dem Training Droge zu Droge sucht in Ratten und Affen <sup>1, 2</sup> wieder zu studieren. Wiedereinsetzung Verfahren wurden seitdem geändert, um die Rolle der Reize aus der Umwelt, einschließlich Arzneimittel-assoziierte Cues und Exposition gegenüber verschiedenen Formen von Stress-Studie, in Rückfall in Drogen sucht <sup>1, 3, 4.</sup> </p><p class="jove_content"> In den vergangenen 15 Jahren hat sich ein Schwerpunkt der Wiedereinführung der Literatur über die Rolle von Stress in der Medikamentenentwicklung Rückfall. Einer der am häufigsten verwendeten Formen von Stress für die Untersuchung dieser Beziehung ist akute Expositionen zu mild, intermittierende, elektrische Fußschocks. Die Fähigkeit von Fußschock Stress auf Wiedereinstellung von Medikamenten suchen zu induzieren, wurde ursprünglich von Shaham und Kollegen (1995) in Ratten mit einer Vorgeschichte von intravenösem Heroin SA <sup>5</sup> demonstriert. Anschließend wurde die Wirkung verallgemeinert Ratten, die mit Geschichten von intravenösem Kokain, Methamphetamin und Nikotin SA, sowie mündliche Ethanol SA <sup>3, 6.</sup> </p><p class="jove_content"> Obwohl Fußschock-induzierte Wiederherstellung der Droge sucht zuverlässig und robust erreicht werden kann, ist es eine Wirkung, die empfindlich auf bestimmte parametrische Variablen tendiert. Dazu gehören die Anordnung der Löschung und Wiederherstellung Test-Sessions, die Intensität und Dauer der Fußschock Stress, und das Vorhandensein von Drogen-assoziierte Cues während Aussterben und Tests für Wiedereinstellung. Hier präsentieren wir ein Protokoll für Fußschock-induzierte Wiederherstellung von Kokain suchen, dass wir mit konsequenter Erfolg eingesetzt, um die Beziehung zwischen Stress und Kokain studieren wollen. </p>

	<p>In this experiment, you will combine varying concentrations of aqueous HCl and sodium thiosulfate to make solid sulfur, which rapidly gathers into opaque yellow particles at a certain sulfur concentration. Since the reaction solution starts clear and colorless, you can easily tell when it reaches that concentration.</p>
	<p>You&#39;ll use the same test tube and total volume each time, so it will take the same amount of sulfur to make each solution completely opaque. Thus, you&#39;ll measure the reaction progress by timing how long that takes. You&#39;ll then use that data to estimate the reaction orders of the individual reactants and of the overall reaction.</p>
	<p>Before starting the lab, make a table listing the reactant concentrations, the time to solution opacity, and the solution temperature for the trials.</p>

	<p>In this part of the lab, you&#39;ll purify acetanilide by recrystallization from an aqueous solution. Acetanilide is moderately soluble in boiling water, but it&#39;s much less soluble in room temperature and cold water. Aniline, a potential impurity, is much more soluble in room temperature water. Thus, you&#39;ll first make a saturated solution of acetanilide in boiling water. Then, you&#39;ll slowly cool the solution to room temperature.</p>
	<p>As the acetanilide&#39;s solubility decreases, it will slowly form flat colorless or white crystals. Water-soluble impurities will remain in solution. You will then cool the solution to further decrease the solubility of acetanilide. Finally, you&#39;ll recover the crystals with vacuum filtration and measure the melting point of your crystals.</p>

	<p>Density is a measure of how compact a substance or object is, and it is calculated as mass divided by volume. When a dense object is placed in a liquid with a lower density, the object sinks; when the object is less dense than the liquid, it floats. When the densities are the same, the object will be suspended in the liquid. In this experiment, we&#39;ll determine the density of an egg by creating a solution with the same density. We&#39;ll measure the density of the salt solution using different volume measurement glassware and determine which is the most accurate.</p>

Always view the measurement at eye level and measure the volume from the bottom of the meniscus. The lines on the graduated cylinder are 0.2 mL apart, meaning that you can read the volume to the hundredths place.

</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-3"><div class="lab-step">HYPOTHESES: The experimental hypothesis for this exercise could be that the dove strategy will become more frequent between repeated partners, and the hawk strategy will become more frequent when interactions are with a variety of partners. The null hypothesis could be that there will be no change in strategy over time with repeat or different partner combinations. NOTE: Benefit can be determined by looking at the left column and choosing the row that corresponds to the card you played. The box that corresponds to the choice of your partner can be found in the top row. For the purposes of this game, B equals four and C equals three. So depending on the cards played, player one here, which is you, would gain a score of two, four, zero or one half.

Sexual Selection and Mate Choice

<ol class="note-items"><li data-note-item="1" data-parent-collapse="">Sexual Selection Class Simulation
<button class="expand">Expand</button><ul class="lab-items"><li data-sub-note-item="1-1"><div class="lab-step">Note: In this activity, you and your classmates will portray a sexually reproducing population consisting of an equal number of male and female animals. You will simulate several different mating scenarios to determine how relative quality, attractiveness, sex, and parental commitment affect mate choice and reproductive success. The goal of this activity is to maximize your progeny. 
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-2"><div class="lab-step">Hypotheses: There are several overall hypotheses for female and male behavior for this activity. The main experimental hypothesis for female behavior is that females will mate with males of high quality more frequently than those of low quality, yielding a higher reproductive success. The null hypothesis is that females will not demonstrate preference towards high- or low-quality males in any of the four rounds of mating. For males, one experimental hypothesis is that males with a higher visible score will have greater reproductive success. Another could be that males will be more selective for females in scenarios in which they join females to care for offspring as opposed to scenarios in which they exhibit no parental commitment. The null hypothesis for male behavior might be that males will not demonstrate preference towards high- or low-quality females in any of the four rounds of mating. 
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-3"><div class="lab-step">Activity Overview: To begin, each student will be assigned a sex as well as a relative quality and attractiveness score. Remember - the goal is to maximize your reproductive success in each round. You do this by mating with partners of the highest possible quality which is rated on a scale of one to three with three being the highest possible score. Attractiveness scores, which follow the previously described scoring paradigm, correlate with quality but do not exactly predict the score. Though useful, they are not a perfect way to choose the best mate.  If you are assigned a male ID holder, you will have 16 gametes. However, if you are assigned a female ID holder, you will only have four. A successful mating occurs when one sperm and one egg are paper-clipped together and deposited at the fertilization area. 
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-4"><div class="lab-step">Note - Rules of the activity:
