Relative taste thresholds for ethanol, saccharin, and quinine solutions in three strains of rats nonselected for ethanol: A comparative study.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
C. P. Richter and K. H. Campbell (1940b) originally defined taste threshold as "the point at which the rats first indicated that they recognized a difference between the distilled water and the solutions" (p. 34). The present study sought to apply this simple behavioral measure to the investigation of strain differences in taste sensitivities, particularly with respect to predictive relationships in ethanol, saccharin, and quinine preference. Fawn-Hooded, Lewis, and Wistar rats were presented with gradual increments in concentration of ethanol (0.01-15%; C. P. Richter & K. H. Campbell, 1940a), saccharin (0.002-3%) or quinine (0.0001-0.0055). Results showed that although intake for saccharin was similar in all strains, consumption of ethanol and quinine differed among the groups. Although previous research has proposed that sweet preference is a promising behavioral marker for ethanol preference, these results suggested that bitter preference may be a more reliable predictor of ethanol preference in rats.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
