Odor-mediated taste learning requires dorsal hippocampus, but not basolateral amygdala activity

- Rats were able to learn about a gustatory stimulus in its absence.
- Mediated learning was not affected by pretraining basolateral amygdala lesions.
- Mediated learning was attenuated by dorsal hippocampal inactivation.
- The dorsal hippocampus is generally involved in representational learning.
