“…This finding was expected, since animals do not lever press while the stimulation is on (Beyra, 1972). Several studies have reported that a subject's leverpressing rate is a good predictor of self-deprivation (Rossi & Stutz, 1978;Stutz, Rossi, & Bowring, 1971). However, in this investigation the leverpressing rate of a subject did not correlate highly with degree of self-deprivation (r = -.06).…”

“…could be postulated to account for the results obtained in this study, previous work from our laboratory suggests that none of these explanations can account for the self-deprivation phenomenon. Rossi and Stutz (1978) and Stutz et al (1971) showed that experimenter-administrated BSR (which removes the element of competition from the experimental situation) does not interfere with food or water intake in previously self-depriving rats. The reward hypothesis is further supported by the observation that the degree of food deprivation influenced the amount of food consumed, suggesting that as food became more rewarding, the effectiveness of BSR in reducing food intake was diminished.…”

“…This contradicts common knowledge of BSR, that animals will “self-starve” in favor of stimulation (Stutz et al, 1971; Santos and Routtenberg, 1972), but may be reflective of variations in electrode placement. More medial placements may induce this effect, and more lateral placements may escape self-starvation (Barbano et al, 2016; Gigante et al, 2016).…”
