For a long time, the insular cortex (IC) has been related with taste physiology and taste
memory processes in animal studies. Recently, the role of the IC has been highlighted by …

Evidence indirectly implicates the amygdala as the primary processor of emotional
information used by cortex to drive appropriate behavioral responses to stimuli. Taste …

Electrophysiological analysis has revealed much about the broad coding and neural
ensemble dynamics that characterize gustatory cortical (GC) taste processing in awake rats …

Dengue virus (DENV) causes self‑limiting dengue fever (DF), severe dengue hemorrhagic
fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS). It is generally considered that cytokine …

The strength of learned associations between pairs of stimuli is affected by multiple factors,
the most extensively studied of which is prior experience with the stimuli themselves. In …

The current dogma suggests that the formation of long-term memory (LTM) is dependent on
protein synthesis but persistence of the memory trace is not. However, many of the studies …

Conditioned taste aversion (CTA) is a form of one-trial learning dependent on basolateral
amygdala projection neurons (BLApn). Its underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms …

Analyses of mice carrying a deletion of the pan-neurotrophin receptor p75NTR have allowed
identifying p75NTR as an important structural regulator of the hippocampus. Most of the …

The aim of this issue is to present an updated view of present knowledge and questions
raised in the rapidly expanding field of chemosensory (taste and olfactory) learning. Taste is …

Conditioned taste aversion (CTA) is an intensively studied single-trial learning paradigm
whereby animals are trained to avoid a taste that has been paired with malaise. Many …
