CTA has a number of unusual properties that challenge the basic tenets of traditional learning and memory theory. In the past decade several pivotal discoveries have considerably advanced our understanding of the neural processes underlying CTA, and opened new possibilities for their analysis at the molecular and cellular levels. This book, written by three of the world's leading researchers in the subject, provides a comprehensive and up-to-date summary of research into the neuroanatomy, pharmacology, electrophysiology, and functional morphology of CTA. The first book of its kind, Conditioned Taste Aversion: Memory of a Special Kind will be important reading for researchers and graduate students in the fields of neurobiology, neuroscience, psychology, behavior, and physiology. |
