Tóm tắt

Rats were permitted to ingest both a novel and a familiar substance prior to injection with apomorphine hydrochloride (a nausea-producing drug) or isotonic saline. Subsequent 2-choice preference tests showed that apomorphine produced a conditioned aversion to the novel substance, but only with the more palatable of the two novel substances employed.
