Lesions of the basolateral, but not central, amygdala impair flavour-taste learning based on fructose or quinine reinforcers

► Basolateral amygdala lesions disrupt flavour-taste learning based on fructose. ► Basolateral amygdala lesions disrupt flavour-taste learning based on quinine. ► Central amygdala lesions do not disrupt flavour-taste learning. ► Appetitive and aversive flavour-taste learning are based on common brain processes.
