Aversive properties of cycloheximide versus memory inhibition in chickens' formation of visually cued food aversions

No memory inhibition for a conditioned aversion in chickens, produced by pairing a novel colored food and lithium chloride (LiCl), was found when cycloheximide (CXM) was injected intracerebrally (IC) two or six hr before feeding. Good conditioned aversions were found when CXM alone was injected IC f...

Description
Summary:	No memory inhibition for a conditioned aversion in chickens, produced by pairing a novel colored food and lithium chloride (LiCl), was found when cycloheximide (CXM) was injected intracerebrally (IC) two or six hr before feeding. Good conditioned aversions were found when CXM alone was injected IC following consumption of the novel food. No aversions were found when CXM alone was injected IC two hr before feeding. Possible reasons for apparent memory inhibition using CXM in some appetitive paradigms are discussed.
