Flavor-illness aversions: the peculiar roles of odor and taste in memory for poison

CC Palmerino, KW Rusiniak, and J Garcia

When either taste or odor alone was followed by poison, rats acquired a strong aversion for the taste but not for odor, especially if poison was delayed. When odor-taste combinations were poisoned, however, odor aversions were potentiated, as if odor could gain the enduring memorial property of taste by associative contiguity.
