This study develops a task to measure both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and finds that drugs affect these motivations differently, highlighting pharmacological divergence.

This study compares the effects of antidepressants on conditioned and innate motivation in mice, finding divergent impacts on reward-seeking behaviors.

This paper validates a non-appetitive effort-based foraging task in mice as a measure of motivational state, showing sensitivity to dopaminergic modulation and phenotypic models of motivational deficits.
