Boosting Cholinergic Activity in Gustatory Cortex Enhances the Salience of a Familiar Conditioned Stimulus in Taste Aversion Learning.
The cholinergic system is important for learning, memory, and responses to novel stimuli. Exposure to novel, but not familiar, tastes increases extracellular acetylcholine (ACh) levels in insular cortex (IC). To further examine whether cholinergic activation is a critical signal of taste novelty, in...
