Inhibiting gustatory thalamus or medial amygdala has opposing effects on taste neophobia
2018, Neurobiology of Learning and MemoryCitation Excerpt :Arthurs & Reilly (2013) found that the GT was also necessary for taste neophobia but that the same lesion had no influence on the rate of CTA acquisition. An examination of the literature revealed a similar pattern of results for MeA lesions: an attenuation of taste neophobia (Lin et al., 2009) that did not produce a delay in CTA acquisition (e.g., Aggleton, Petrides & Iversen, 1981; Meliza, Leung & Rogers, 1981; Rollins, Stines, McGuire & King, 2001; for a review see Reilly & Bornovalova, 2005). The fact that lesions of different structures can cause a similar attenuation of taste neophobia while having different influences on CTA acquisition suggests that taste neophobia has multiple behavioral components that are governed by different neural circuits.

2013, Behavioural Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :A similar elevated consumption of a novel taste CS was seen in the GTX rats in the present study but this deficit appeared to have no influence on the rate of taste aversion learning. Interestingly, bilateral lesions of the medial amygdala (MeA) disrupt the initial expression of taste neophobia [33] but are reported to have no influence of CTA acquisition [1,38,55,60,66]. Finally, a recent study employing asymmetric unilateral lesions of the GC, BLA or MeA revealed that the GC and BLA form a functional unit in terms of the initial expression of taste neophobia; asymmetric unilateral lesions of the MeA and GC or MeA and BLA had no influence on taste neophobia [28].
