'''Day 0:''' (August 30, 2020) Water removed, ad lib food access.
 +
 +
'''Day 1-9:''' (August 31-Sept 8, 2020) the rats were placed on a water deprivation schedule under which they received daily water access in one 30-min drinking session. Rats had ad lib food access throughout. 
 +
 +
'''Day 10: Conditioning day''' (Sept 9, 2020): rats were divided into 4 different groups
 +
(NaCl/NaCl, NaCl/NaB, LiCl/NaCl and LiCl/NaB)
 +
 +
0-10 min:  10-min access to a bottle containing 75 mM NaCl solution (half-isotonic, 4.5g NaCl/liter).
 +
 +
30 min:  (20 minutes after the end of NaCl) intake:
 +
 +
* LiCl/NaCl and LiCl/NaB groups were injected with LiCl (0.15 M, 3 ml/kg, i.p.)
 +
 +
* NaCl/NaCl and NaCl/NaB groups were injected with saline (0.15 M NaCl, 3 ml/kg, i.p.).
 +
 +
40 min: (10 minutes after LiCl or saline injections)
 +
* LiCl/NaB and NaCl/NaB groups were injected with NaB (0.3 M, 12 ml/kg, i.p.)
 +
* LiCl/NaCl and NaCl/NaCl groups were injected with iso-osmotic saline (0.3 M NaCl, 12 ml/kg, i.p.).
 +
 +
3 h: (3 hours after conditioning) rats received ad libitum access to water overnight.
 +
 +
'''Day 11''' (Sept 10, 2020): CTA acquisition and extinction was measured with 48-h, 2-bottle preference tests. Rats were given 24-h free access to both 75 mM NaCl and water bottles, alternating position for 6 days.
