Abstract
Objectives: Binge eating disorder (BED) is the most prevalent eating disorder associated with multiple adverse health effects, especially mental health issues, including substance use disorders and mood and anxiety disorders. Given these high comorbidities, the objective of our study was to examine whether bingeing behavior would lead to altered perception of reinforcing properties of EtOH and changes in well-being. Methods: We used a sucrose bingeing model based on an intermittent access paradigm with a two-bottle choice, without fasting, in male and female mice. We examined the effect of 2-week sucrose paradigm on ethanol-reinforcing properties using a conditioned place preference test (CPP). Well-being, anxiety- and depressive-like behavioral tests were performed to assess emotional state following 2 and 8-week sucrose bingeing paradigm. Results: Mice with intermittent access to sucrose developed a binge-like behavior assessed by higher sucrose intake and escalation rate during the 1st hour of access, in comparison with mice with a continuous sucrose access. We show for the first time that sucrose bingeing in mice modifies positive reinforcing effect of EtOH in a CPP paradigm without marked alteration of emotional state. Interestingly, prolonging sucrose access for 8 weeks revealed an exacerbated bingeing behavior in female mice, and some signs of emotional state alterations in female with continuous access. Discussion: In sum, our findings broaden the understanding of behavioral alterations associated with bingeing, highlighting the need to investigate addictive-like properties of palatable food both in male and female mice.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
