Abstract

âº Conditioned taste aversion (CTA) involves activation of the amygdala by toxins. âº Activated phosphorylated MAP kinase (pMAPK) may be a critical intracellular signal. âº LiCl induced pMAPK in the central n. of the amygdala and n. of the solitary tract. âº MEK inhibition by SL327 in the amygdala attenuated CTA and pMAPK induction.
