Inhibiting gustatory thalamus or medial amygdala has opposing effects on taste neophobia

Inhibiting gustatory thalamus or medial amygdala has opposing effects on taste neophobia

Taste neophobia is a feeding system defense mechanism that limits consumption of an unknown, and therefore potentially dangerous, edible until the post-ingestive consequences are experienced. We found that transient pharmacological inhibition (induced with the GABA agonists baclofen and muscimol) of...
