Objective: Characterize impulsive choice behavior in bred high-responder (bHR) and bred low-responder (bLR) rats to assess genetic vulnerability to behavioral disinhibition and addiction-related traits

Impulsive Choice Task Assessment
Measure impulsive choice behavior in bred high-responder and bred low-responder rats. bHRs were less impulsive on this measure compared to bLRs.
Not specifiedNot specified
Note: This is a behavioral measure of impulsive choice, distinct from impulsive action measures

“although less impulsive on a measure of 'impulsive choice', bHRs were more impulsive on a measure of 'impulsive action'”
