    Rats avoided saccharin after illness induction. Target biting behavior increased during this gustatory avoidance, suggesting a novel automated measure for conditioned aversion.

    Area of Science:

    • Behavioral Neuroscience
    • Neuropharmacology
    • Animal Behavior

    Background:

    • Gustatory avoidance studies typically measure reduced consumption.
    • Accompanying behaviors are often noted but not automated.
    • Automated data collection for avoidance behaviors is lacking.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate target biting as an automated measure of gustatory avoidance.
    • To analyze behaviors accompanying conditioned taste aversion in rats.

    Main Methods:

    • Rats received saccharin followed by lithium chloride (LiCl) to induce aversion.
    • Target biting responses were recorded during the gustatory avoidance paradigm.
    • Saccharin intake and biting rates were quantified.

    Main Results:

    • A significant decrease in saccharin consumption was observed post-LiCl.
    • High rates of target biting correlated with gustatory avoidance.
    • Initial target exposure also showed some target biting.

    Conclusions:

    • Target biting can serve as an automated indicator of conditioned taste aversion.
    • This method offers a novel approach to quantifying avoidance behaviors.
    • Paradigm contingencies influence observed target biting rates.
