      abstract = {Delay discounting is a form of impulsive choice in which  the perceived value of a reward decreases as delay to  reward increases. Increased rates of delay discounting have  been associated with a multitude of psychopathologies,  including substance use disorders. Translational studies  using rodent models have broadened our understanding of  this behavior and been used identify potential therapeutic  interventions. It is common practice to restrict weight  when using animal models to increase both motivation and  engagement with the discounting task. Results from this  study emphasize the importance of developing a more  standardized weight restriction procedure in studies using  food restriction as a way to increase animal motivation in  discounting tasks. Future research may look to determine  the role of feeding times and metabolism on delay  discounting rates.},
