Zugriff:
One to three day old chicks spontaneously peck at small objects. When presented with a chrome bead coated with the bitter tasting substance methyl anthranilate (MeA), chicks peck once, display a characteristic disgust response and subsequently avoid a similar bead. Chicks that are trained on a water coated bead continue to peck a similar bead on retrial. Twenty four hours after training on this one-trial passive avoidance paradigm, chicks were tested for retention. The brains of chicks displaying the correct behavioural response (>90%) were removed and the lobus parolfactorius from each hemisphere was dissected from the brain and impregnated using a rapid Golgi technique.
