“…Similarly, we have recently found that anesthesia-inducing drugs (ketamine/xylazine and sodium pentobarbital) can serve as USs to support CTA learning (Lin et al, 2017a). Finally, we have discovered that drugs of abuse (e.g., amphetamine and morphine), at dose that are rewarding in other tasks (i.e., place -preference learning and self-administration tasks [e.g., Cappell & LeBlanc, 1971; Cappell, LeBlanc, & Endrenyi, 1973; Hunt & Amit, 1987; Parker, Limebeer, & Rana, 2009; Schuster & Thompson, 1969]), are capable of supporting CTA acquisition (e.g., Arthurs et al, 2012; Arthurs & Reilly, 2013; Lin, Arthurs, Amodeo & Reilly, 2012; for reviews see Lin et al, 2014, 2017b). All these findings, particularly those with drugs of abuse, are at odds with the conclusions derived from research that employed the taste reactivity test to determine palatability of the taste CS.…”
