Defensive burying of flavors paired with lithium but not amphetamine.
Although rats demonstrated avoidance of both lithium- and amphetamine-paired flavored solutions, only the lithium-paired flavor elicited a defensive burying response. These data support the contention that lithium-paired flavors become hedonically unpalatable. Additionally, a simplified economical method for measuring defensive burying is described.
