Variable delay-to-signal: a fast paradigm for assessment of aspects of impulsivity in rats

Testing impulsive behavior in rodents is challenging and labor-intensive. We developed a new behavioral paradigm – the Variable Delay-to-Signal (VDS) test – that provides rapid and simultaneous assessment of response and decision impulsivity in rodents. Presentation of a light at variable delays sig...
