Social Learning of Food Preferences in Rodents: Rapid Appetitive Learning Journal Articles

abstract

• AbstractA procedure is described for quantitating the transfer of information about inducing increased intake of distinctively‐flavored foods or fluids among common laboratory rodents. The method provides a simple, efficient, non‐invasive way to produce robust, long‐lasting changes in appetitive behaviors of laboratory rodents that can be used in studies of the neuroanatomical, neurochemical or genetic substrates of learning and memory.
