Mô hình Gompertz và hành vi tự kích thích nội sọ

Reward plays an important role in researches on learning and memory, which includes natural and artificial stimulations. Brain stimulation reward has been used in behavioral researches having a self-stimulation effect. The study used electrical brain stimulation reward with varied currents and frequencies to evaluate their effecacy on self-stimulation in mice. Self-stimulption responses to stimulation currents and frequencies were compared to those calculated according to Gomperlz's function with the same .variables and established response curves of self-stimulation behavior. The results showed a relevant equivalence between self-stimulation responses to currents and frequencies experimentally and those estimatedby the theoretical function.
