Excitotoxic lesions of the perirhinal cortex leave intact rats’ gustatory sensory preconditioning [PDF]
Q J Exp Psychol (Hove), 2021 We report findings from two sensory preconditioning experiments in which rats consumed two flavoured solutions, each with two gustatory components (AX and BY), composed of sweet, bitter, salt, and acid elements.

Orbitofrontal neurons signal sensory associations underlying model-based inference in a sensory preconditioning task [PDF]
eLife, 2018 Using knowledge of the structure of the world to infer value is at the heart of model-based reasoning and relies on a circuit that includes the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC).

Chemogenetic silencing of neurons in retrosplenial cortex disrupts sensory preconditioning [PDF]
J Neurosci, 2014 An essential aspect of episodic memory is the formation of associations between neutral sensory cues in the environment. In light of recent evidence that this critical aspect of learning does not require the hippocampus, we tested the involvement of the ...

Dorsal hippocampus mediates light–tone associations in male mice [PDF]
eLifeDaily choices are often influenced by environmental cues that are not directly associated with reinforcers. This phenomenon, known as higher-order conditioning, can be studied using sensory preconditioning tasks in rodents.

The basolateral amygdala complex and perirhinal cortex represent focal and peripheral states of information processing in rats [PDF]
eLifeWe previously identified the roles of the basolateral amygdala complex (BLA) and perirhinal cortex (PRh) in sensory preconditioning in male and female rats (Wong et al., 2025).

Neural correlates of sensory preconditioning: A preliminary fMRI investigation [PDF]
Human Brain Mapping, 2013 Sensory preconditioning (SPC; also known as behaviorally silent learning) consists of a combination of two neutral stimuli, none of which elicits an unconditional response. After one of them is later paired with an unconditional stimulus (US), the other neutral stimulus also yields a conditional response although it has never been paired with the US ...

Hypoxia-preconditioned mitochondrial transplantation multidirectionally modulates Schwann cell functions to repair peripheral nerve injury in rats [PDF]
Journal of Orthopaedic TranslationBackground: Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) often leads to sensory and motor dysfunction. This study investigated the promoting effect of hypoxia-preconditioned mitochondrial transplantation on the structural and functional reconstruction of peripheral ...

Manipulating Memory Associations Minimizes Avoidance Behavior
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2021 Memories of the past can guide humans to avoid harm. The logical consequence of this is if memories are changed, avoidance behavior should be affected.

Higher-Order Conditioning and Dopamine: Charting a Path Forward
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2021 Higher-order conditioning involves learning causal links between multiple events, which then allows one to make novel inferences. For example, observing a correlation between two events (e.g., a neighbor wearing a particular sports jersey), later helps ...
