first draft of experiment
Test if lithium orotate (LiOr) induces a conditioned taste aversion comparable to LiCl.
Pair saccharin intake with different doses of LiCl and LiOr to see if LiOr is more potent.

===Agenda===
Rats arrive (2026-1-20), n= 16 adult male Sprague Dawley rats (Charles River CD), individually housed in BRF 169.
<br>
'''Day 0: Water removed''' (2026-1-26)
<br>
'''Days 1 - 6: Water Restriction''' (2026-1-27 thru 2026-2-1)
Weigh rats daily. ad lib food.
30 min, 30 min, 30 min, 30 min, 30 min, 15 min water at 1400 daily.
1 water bottle, 1 empty bottle to accustom to 2-bottle choice
<br>
'''Day 12: Conditioning Day''' (2026-2-2)
0 min: 30 min access to 0.125% saccharin (5 g sodium saccharin/4L water)
30 min: rats injected with:
- 0.15 M NaCl, 6 ml/kg ip.
- 0.15 M LiCl, 6 ml/kg ip.
- 0.15 M NaOr, 6 ml/kg ip.
- 0.15 M LiOr, 6 ml/kg ip.
ad lib water returned after final injection overnight.
'''Days 13 - 22: Preference Tests''' (2026-2-3 through 2026-2-13)
Rats CTA acquisition and extinction was measured with 24-h, 2-bottle preference tests. Rats were given 24-h free access to both 0.125% saccharin and water bottles, alternating position for 10 days.
