Food Preference Test
Objective: Assesses monkeys' ability to choose among six different foods when allowed to select foods alone, to evaluate whether satiety mechanisms and the ability to assign value to familiar foods are intact
This is a Food Preference Test protocol using rhesus monkey as the model organism. The procedure involves 2 procedural steps, 1 materials. Extracted from a 2004 paper published in Journal of Neuroscience.

Use this page as an execution guide, then fall back to the source paper whenever you need exact exclusions, dosing details, or assay-specific caveats.
Confirm first
- Verify the animal model, intervention setup, and collection timepoints against the source paper.
- Check that every direct vendor link matches the exact specification your lab plans to run.

Food Preference Test Setup
Present monkeys with six different food options and allow them to select foods alone without experimenter intervention
Note: Test conducted to assess monkeys' ability to choose among multiple food options independently

“allowed to choose foods alone, either on a food preference test among six different foods”
Record Food Selections
Document which foods the monkeys choose during the preference test
Note: Responses recorded for both lesioned and control monkeys
