Encoding of Conditioned Taste Aversion in Cortico-Amygdala Circuits
Summary: Avoidance of potentially toxic food by means of conditioned taste aversion is critical for survival of many animals. However, the underlying neuronal mechanisms are poorly understood.

When one becomes ill after consuming a meal, there is a propensity to target a particular taste as the cause of the illness. The qualities of the taste most likely targeted include more novel, less preferred, and higher protein content.

Memory trace in feeding neural circuitry underlying conditioned taste aversion in Lymnaea.
BackgroundThe pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis can maintain a conditioned taste aversion (CTA) as a long-term memory. Previous studies have shown that the inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP) evoked in the neuron 1 medial (N1M) cell by activation of the ...

Investigating the relationship between neural structures underlying taste neophobia, conditioned taste aversion, and anorexia [PDF]
Food aversion learning is thought to underlie restrictive eating behaviors seen in various eating disorders. Aversion learning paradigms such as taste neophobia and conditioned taste aversion serve to limit intake of food stimuli that may cause harm ...

Taste Processing: Insights from Animal Models
Taste processing is an adaptive mechanism involving complex physiological, motivational and cognitive processes. Animal models have provided relevant data about the neuroanatomical and neurobiological components of taste processing.

Not so fast: Taste stimulus coding time in the rat revisited
Behavioral and electrophysiological studies suggest that rats can identify a taste stimulus with a single lick, in <200 ms. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the number of licks of a tastant, its concentration and prior learning experience will ...

Landscapes of nausea: Successful conditioned taste aversion in a wild red fox population
Predation by invasive mammalian species is one of the key drivers of native species' population declines and extinctions. Current management of invasive species focuses on their removal from the landscape.

Alcohol use is prevalent during adolescence, yet little is known about possible long-lasting consequences. Recent evidence suggests that adolescents are less sensitive than adults to ethanol's aversive effects, an insensitivity that may be retained into ...

LTD at amygdalocortical synapses as a novel mechanism for hedonic learning
A novel, pleasant taste stimulus becomes aversive if associated with gastric malaise, a form of learning known as conditioned taste aversion (CTA). CTA is common to vertebrates and invertebrates and is an important survival response: eating the wrong ...
