  • Number of Food-1 (F1) and Food-2 (F2) objects chosen in critical sessions consisting of 30 trials. DS1 represents a difference score between the number of Food-1 objects chosen after Food-1 satiation and baseline; DS2 represents a difference score between number of Food-2 objects chosen after Food-2 satiation and baseline. Difference score is the sum of DS1 and DS2. C1–C3 are unoperated control monkeys; A1–A4 are monkeys with excitotoxic amygdala lesions.
