Effects of Lesions of the Medial and Lateral Parabrachial Nuclei on Acquisition and Retention of Conditioned Taste Aversion

摘要: When the consumption of novel flavored foods is followed by administration a toxin, animals avoid ingesting this food on subsequent presentations. This alteration in behavior referred to as conditioned taste aversion (CTA). Understanding neural mechanisms subserving learning has been goal variety studies. It reported that confined lesions brain attenuate or abolish CTA rats. The included those area postrema, amygdala, gustatory cortex, ventral posteromedial nucleus thalamus, well chronic supracollicullar decerebration.
