Acknowledgments

This work would not have been possible without the contributions of many individuals. William E. Cory, Herman Barsun (both SwRI retired), and Jim Rather (SwRI) contributed to facility design, construction, and operation. Houston D. Smith and Robert R. Garay of SwRI played key roles in both the performance of the operant behavioral experiments and completion of the research program. Social behavior studies were conducted by Dr. Anthony Coelho, formerly of the Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research (SFBR) and now of the National Institutes of Health, and Dr. Stephen Easley, formerly of SFBR and now with the University of New Mexico. Dr. Krishna Murthy of SFBR completed the immunology measurements. Dr. Gary Moore, formerly of SwRI and now at the University of Arkansas Medical School, Frank Risley (SwRI), Dr. Sherene Singh (formerly of SwRI), and Dr. David Wood (SwRI retired) were in charge of animal care. Mr. Brian Mikiten of BCM Designs and Dr. Kenneth Carey and Dr. Michelle Leland of SFBR participated in design of the blood sampling system. Dr. Russel J. Reiter and Lornell Barlow-Walden of the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio completed the melatonin measurements.
