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 …

Previous findings indicate that the insular cortex (IC) is involved in conditioned taste
aversion and taste recognition. Here we report evidence that the IC is not uniquely …

In spite of over 30years of research, the role of the Insular Cortex (IC) in taste memory still
remains elusive. To study the role of the IC in taste memory, we used conditioned taste …

The insular cortex (IC) is the primary gustatory cortex, and it is a critical structure for
encoding and retrieving the conditioned taste aversion (CTA) memory. In the CTA …

The sense of taste is a key component of the sensory machinery, enabling the evaluation of
both the safety as well as forming associations regarding the nutritional value of ingestible …

In fear-associated learning paradigms, hippocampal lesions induce memory deficits of
recent but not remote memories, while amygdala lesions produce retention deficits …

In the behaving rat, the consumption of an unfamiliar taste activates the extracellular signal-
regulated kinase 1–2 (ERK1–2) in the insular cortex, which contains the taste cortex. In …

The formation and storage of aversively motivated memories is based on plastic changes
within the amygdala and other brain structures that are modulated by its activity. One of …

In this paper, we will provide evidence of the putative molecular signals and biochemical
events that mediate the formation of long-lasting gustatory memory trace. When an animal …

The senses of taste and odor are both chemical senses. However, whereas an organism
can detect an odor at a relatively long distance from its source, taste serves as the ultimate …
