Abstract
The effect of hippocampal lesions on the inhibition of eating was examined within a learned taste aversion paradigm. Rats with hippocampal lesions were tested on their ability to refrain from eating a novel tasting food that had been paired with the internal malaise produced by a.15-M IP injection of lithium chloride. The results showed that the rats with hippocampal lesions did not differ from normal rats on either the development or extinction of the aversion. These results extend previous findings which show that bilateral hippocampal lesions do not interfere with the normal modulation of consummatory behaviors.
