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. 000009531 540__ $$fCC BY 000009531 542__ $$fIn copyright - joint owners 000009531 650__ $$aDelay Discounting$$040692 000009531 650__ $$aSubstance-Related Disorders$$032029 000009531 6531_ $$aadjusting amount 000009531 6531_ $$aneuroeconomics 000009531 6531_ $$aweight restriction 000009531 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000009531 692__ $$aDepartment of Behavioral Neuroscience$$041394 000009531 7001_ $$aFaraca, Jessica$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009531 7001_ $$aZepcan, Enedina$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009531 7001_ $$aMitchell, Suzanne H.$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009531 711__ $$aResearch Week$$uOregon Health and Science University 000009531 8564_ $$9ea33ab1b-5545-4423-a30a-323a7a3de1c9$$s384007$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9531/files/Faraca-Jessica-OHSU-ResearchWeek-2022.pdf 000009531 905__ $$a/rest/prod/1v/53/jx/65/1v53jx65v 000009531 980__ $$aResearch Week
