To obtain a better understanding of how well the Y-maze preference test paradigm indexes electrical brain stimulation reward, the present experiment compared the abilities of this rate-independent paradigm and a rate-dependent paradigm to assess the rewarding effectiveness of brain stimulation. The rate-dependent paradigm used was an operant chamber. The results showed that over a wide range of stimulation parameters the rate-independent paradigm provided a better assessment of the rewarding effectiveness of the brain stimulation than did the rate-dependent paradigm.
为了更好地理解Y迷宫偏好测试范式对脑电刺激奖赏的索引程度，本实验比较了这种与速率无关的范式和一种与速率相关的范式评估脑刺激奖赏效果的能力。所使用的与速率相关的范式是一个操作箱。结果表明，在广泛的刺激参数范围内，与速率无关的范式比与速率相关的范式能更好地评估脑刺激的奖赏效果。
