Abstract
Test for anhedonia-like behavior in mice.
Individually house mice.
Place two bottles in random positions in each cage:
1) one bottle containing regular water
2) the second containing 1% sucrose diluted in water
Record the weight of the each bottle before and after 24 hours.
Sucrose preference index is defined as the total sucrose consumption over the total liquid consumption.
