Conditioned Place Preference
Objective: Assessment of food-reward behavior by measuring preference for environments associated with high-fat diet consumption in mice exposed to chronic social defeat stress
This is a Conditioned Place Preference protocol using mouse as the model organism. The procedure involves 3 procedural steps, 1 equipment items. Extracted from a 2011 paper published in Journal of Clinical Investigation.

Chronic Social Defeat Stress (CSDS) Exposure
Mice are exposed to chronic social defeat stress, a model of prolonged psychosocial stress featuring aspects of major depression and posttraumatic stress disorder
Note: CSDS is the stressor condition prior to CPP testing

Conditioned Place Preference Task
Food-reward behavior is assessed using a conditioned place preference task in mice after CSDS exposure
Note: CPP measures preference for environments associated with high-fat diet consumption

Measurement of High-Fat Diet Preference and Intake
Both CPP for and intake of high-fat diet are measured under the CSDS regime
Note: CSDS increased both CPP for and intake of high-fat diet
