Abstract

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