Effects of Septal Lesions on a Higher-Order Conditioned Taste Aversion: A Preliminary Analysis
, 1992 Septal-lesioned rats ( n = 7) and nonsurgical controls ( n = 7) were exposed to a higher-order conditioned taste aversion procedure and the effects of septal lesions on the development of a higher-order conditioned taste aversion examined.

Learning scores by taste aversion training.
, 2013 After the CS was paired 10 times with the US in the taste aversion-training session, the feeding response to the CS was significantly reduced (**P0.05) in the feeding response of the taste aversion-trained snails, backward-conditioned or naive control ...
