Test if lithium orotate (LiOr) induces a conditioned taste aversion comparable to LiCl.  

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.

Single pairing of saccharin intake (15 min) after 15-min delay with isomolar doses of LiCl and LiOr to see if LiOr is more potent.
