TL;DR
Results suggest that feeding condition may be a powerful determinant of drug-reinforced behavior.
Abstract
Rats given continuous access to etonitazene hydrochloride in their drinking water (5 micrograms per milliliter) more than doubled their drug intake while deprived of food. Another group of rats with implanted jugular catheters self-administered etonitazene (10 micrograms per kilogram) intravenously on a continuous reinforcement schedule, and the number of infusions increased significantly on days when they were deprived of food. These results suggest that feeding condition may be a powerful determinant of drug-reinforced behavior.

Rats maintained on an intermittent food schedule with an available ethanol solution drink to excess approximates a model of human alcoholism, resulting in unequivocal physical dependence.

This chapter discusses the pharmacology and physiology of stereotyped behavior, and it seems reasonable to assume that the stereotypy in man is mediated by the dopamine in the brain.

The general plan of the experiment and the values of the variables investigated have been chosen to provide data useful for the interpretation of experimental data in the field of learning.
PsychopharmacologyEthanol as a reinforcer: Effects of fixed-ratio size and food deprivation
139 Citations1973Richard A. Meisch, Travis Thompson
It was inferred that the odor of ethanol functioned as a discriminative stimulus, and it was concluded that ethanol served as a reinforcer for the rat.
Pharmacology Biochemistry and BehaviorSelf administration of nicotine with and without a food delivery schedule
128 Citations1977W.J. Lang, Azian Abdul Latiff +2 more
The rates of self injection of nicotine by rats over a continuous 90 hr session were similar to saline injection rates and the oral intake of nicotine under the same conditions was similar to the intake of Nicotine by schedule induced injections.
Pharmacology Biochemistry and BehaviorEthanol intake as a function of concentration during food deprivation and satiation
94 Citations1974Richard A. Meisch, Travis Thompson
Ethanol intake was greater when the rats were food deprived, but under both food conditions; this finding strengthened the conclusion that this concentration can serve as a reinforcer for the food-satiated rat.
Pharmacology Biochemistry and BehaviorSchedule induced self-injection of d-amphetamine by naive animals

Findings indicate that to initiate high levels of amphetamine self-injection an interaction of food deprivation state and the pharmacological property of the drug is a critical variable.

The results of this study were consistent with a noradrenergic self-stimulation system for the lateral hypothalamus and Medial frontal cortex self- Stimulation, however, appears to be mediated by a neuroanatomical and neurochemical system different from that of theateral hypothalamus.
Pharmacology Biochemistry and BehaviorEffects of food deprivation on etonitazene consumption in rats
58 Citations1979Marilyn E. Carroll, Richard A. Meisch
Self-mutilation and other forms of stereotypy were noted only in food-deprived rats consuming etonitazene, which would suggest a learning mechanism may be involved.
Pharmacology Biochemistry and BehaviorEstablishment of etonitazene as a reinforcer for rats by use of schedule-induced drinking
47 Citations1977Richard A. Meisch, Linda J. Stark
Progressive increases in the etonitazene concentration resulted in both systematic decreases in response rate and increases in quantity consumed, and eton itazene (5 microgram/ml) was functioning as a positive reinforcer.
Quarterly Journal of Experimental PsychologyThe Effect of Hunger on Water Intake in Rats
36 Citations1969Keith Oatley, David Tonge
Though in general food deprived rats drink less than normal they actually drink more than they need, the observation confirmed here that during food deprivation rats excrete about twice as much rather dilute urine as during ad lib food intake makes it unlikely that water-intake is actually inhibited during hunger.
Physiology & BehaviorEffects of age and food deprivation on the development of muricidal behavior in rats
36 Citations1975Jeffrey B. Malick
The induction of muricidal behavior in the rat, under various experimental conditions, was studied in order to determine whether mouse killing is a form of predatory aggression that is closely related to feeding behavior.

The stable pattern of drinking exhibited by rats on the 0.5 mg/ml morphine HCl solution was characterized by a dissociation of drinking from pellet presentation, and chronic exposure to methadone HCl solutions produced less drinking and lower doses ingested than was obtained with either morphine H cl or morphine SO4 at an equal concentration.

14 Citations1971Steven R. Hursh, Robert C. Beck
Results showed the typical deprivation-concentration interaction, greatly increased intake for the higher concentration of a pair, and there was also an interaction with the “bitter” pairs, due to Ss drinking more of the 1.15% concentration when food-deprived than when non- Deprived.
Physiology & BehaviorFood deprivation facilitates hypothalamic drinking
6 Citations1970Joseph Mendelson
It is proposed that food deprivation exerts a facilitatory effect on the neural substrate governing water intake, but that this effect is usually obscured by the fact that food-deprived animals need less water to maintain their normal body-fluid balance.
