An investigation of the neurobiological mechanisms involved in the control of operant behaviour by reinforcers: quantitative studies using the progressive-ratio schedule

This thesis describes a series of experiments investigating the neural underpinnings of the ‘efficacy’ or ‘value’ of food reinforcers in the control of operant behaviour. A number of methods have been devised for measuring reinforcer value. The experiments described in this thesis employed the progr...
