Learned taste aversions in children receiving chemotherapy.
Children with neoplastic diseases were offered an unusual ice cream before their drug treatments. Patients experiencing gastrointestinal toxicity due to the drugs were subsequently less likely to choose that ice cream again than controls. This suggests that taste aversions induced by drug-associated symptoms may contribute to the appetite loss experienced by cancer patients.
متن کاملOntogeny of long-term memory for learned taste aversions.
Eighteen-day-old and adult rats were trained on a learned taste-aversion (illness reinforced) or a lick-suppression (shock reinforced) task and tested for retention after either 1, 28, or 56 days. Young rats showed a retention deficit relative to adults in the lick-suppression task but not for taste-aversion learning. Young rats did, however, show relatively less suppression to the saline solut...
متن کاملAssociatively learned representations of taste outcomes activate taste-encoding neural ensembles in gustatory cortex.
Through learning processes, cues associated with emotionally salient reinforcing outcomes can come to act as substitutes for the reinforcer itself. According to one account of this phenomenon, the predictive cue associatively elicits a representation of the expected outcome by reactivating cells responsible for encoding features of the primary reinforcer. We tested this hypothesis by examining ...
متن کاملNeural Representations of Unconditioned Stimuli in Basolateral Amygdala Mediate Innate and Learned Responses
Stimuli that possess inherently rewarding or aversive qualities elicit emotional responses and also induce learning by imparting valence upon neutral sensory cues. Evidence has accumulated implicating the amygdala as a critical structure in mediating these processes. We have developed a genetic strategy to identify the representations of rewarding and aversive unconditioned stimuli (USs) in the...
متن کاملPhenylthiocarbamide produces conditioned taste aversions in mice.
Previous work has demonstrated that SWR/J (SW) mice avoid phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) to a greater degree than C3HeB/FeJ mice in 48 h, two-bottle preference tests given in ascending series. The authors hypothesized, based also on previous work, that SW mice might form a conditioned taste aversion over time due to the toxic properties of PTC. We directly tested this hypothesis by attempting to con...
