Temporally‐precise basolateral amygdala activation is required for the formation of taste memories in gustatory cortex Open
Key points The basolateral amygdala (BLA), the nucleus basalis magnocellularis (NBM), and the gustatory cortex (GC) are involved in taste processing, taste memory formation and conditioned taste aversion (CTA) learning, but their fine‐temp…

Temporally-precise basolateral amygdala activation is required for the formation of taste memories in gustatory cortex Open
Learning to associate malaise with the intake of novel food is critical for survival. Since food poisoning may take hours to affect, animals developed brain circuits to transform the current novel taste experience into a taste memory trace…
