When subjects receive a taste stimulus (conditioned stimulus, CS) that is paired with malaise, they acquire conditioned taste aversion (CTA). It is thought that the taste CS changes from appetitive to aversive after acquisition of CTA. Previous studies have suggested that the ventral pallidum (VP) i...
