it also regulated "motivated feeding behavior" in fasted animals. We observed this in a control experiment for the novelty induced supression of feeding task (NSFT). While there was no difference in the innate avoidance behavior in the NSFT, there was a difference in the homecage feeding assay
panel F: no difference between SBI-553 and vehicle in latency to feed. Panel G: significant reduction in food consumption following in the 10 min homecage feeding assay. Males blue triangles, females black circles
