Abstract:Rationale
Muscarinic receptor activity in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) is known to be involved in plasticity mechanisms that underlie emotional learning. The BLA is involved in the Attenuation of Neophobia, an incidental taste learning task in which a novel taste becomes familiar and recognized as safe.
Objective
Here we assessed the role of muscarinic receptor activity in the BLA in incidental taste learning.
