Simultaneous but not independent anisomycin infusions in insular cortex and amygdala hinder stabilization of taste memory when updated.

23 Aug 2009 Reconsolidation has been described as a process where a consolidated memory returns to a labile state when retrieved. Growing evidence suggests that reconsolidation is, in fact, a destabilization/stabilization process that incorporates updated ... Read more...

Saliva and other taste stimuli are important for gustatory processing of linoleic acid.

17 Aug 2009 Paradoxically, bilateral transection of the chorda tympani nerve (CTX) raises the taste discrimination threshold for the free fatty acid, linoleic acid (LA), yet the chorda tympani nerve (CT) is unresponsive to lingual application of LA alone. LA ... Read more...

Intra-oral pre-treatment with capsaicin increases consumption of sweet solutions in rats.

30 Jul 2009 Sprague-Dawley rats received preference tests for sucrose or saccharin daily following oral treatment with 0.02% capsaicin. Consumed sweet solutions and preference scores increased in capsaicin-treated rats, compared to control rats on the second to ... Read more...
