Description

The Vogel test paradigm is a popular conflict model in which water-deprived rats and mice first learn to lick from a water spout in an operant chamber.

Then, usually after a period of unpunished licking, responses are punished with mild footshocks, inducing a significant reduction of drinking. In this context, administration of anxiolytics is shown to inhibit shock-induced drinking suppression.

Reasons for choosing this test

  • Punishment based conflict test

Reasons for not choosing this test

  • Classically used in rat, underemployed in mice
  • Needs food or drink deprivation
  • Involves aversive/stressful stimulus (footshock)
  • Influenced by non-specific changes in response rate, cognition, basal water/food intake and nociception
