Punished Drinking Test
Objective: Measure anxiolytic-like effects by assessing approach-avoidance conflict when animals drink water in a punishing context, a classical anxiety model
This is a Punished Drinking Test protocol using Not explicitly specified in provided text as the model organism. The procedure involves 3 procedural steps, 1 equipment items, 3 materials. Extracted from a 2002 paper published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Core workflow
Administer test compound • Conduct punished drinking test • Measure behavioral outcomes
Primary readouts
- Drinking behavior in punishing context
- Approach-avoidance conflict responses
- Anxiolytic-like activity indicators
Key equipment and reagents
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.
Use the page like this
- Work through the protocol steps in order and use the inline vendor chips only when you need to source or verify an item.
- Jump to Experimental Context for readouts, data shape, and analysis flow before planning downstream analysis.

Administer test compound
Administer SSR149415 to animals at doses ranging from 1 to 30 mg/kg via intraperitoneal (i.p.) or oral (p.o.) routes
Note: Diazepam used as positive control for comparison
View evidence from paper
“SSR149415 produced anxiolytic-like activity at doses that ranged from 1 to 30 mg/kg (i.p. or p.o.)”
Conduct punished drinking test
Place animals in apparatus and measure drinking behavior in context of punishment to assess approach-avoidance conflict and anxiety-like behavior
Note: This is a classical anxiety model measuring approach-avoidance conflict

“punished drinking test”
Measure behavioral outcomes
Quantify drinking behavior and approach-avoidance responses as indicators of anxiolytic-like activity
Note: Magnitude of effects compared to diazepam control
View evidence from paper
“the magnitude of these effects was overall less than that of the benzodiazepine anxiolytic diazepam”
