social transmission of food preference steps

• Step 1: Demonstrator rat is eating some food

• Step 2: Social interaction takes place without any food present
○ Observer (the test rat) interacts with the demonstrator and smells the other rats breath
○ Smells cumin

• Step 3: Delay

•Step 4: Observer is given a test and given the choice btw two options
○ Option 1: food that smells like the one the demonstrator ate
-Option 2: other food

T or F: Rats are very social and learn from each other from olfaction, and are afraid novel foods .Rats are very wary of things (especially new food)

True

what's the ida of the experiment

Idea is that if the rats remember the social interaction they will eat the food with the smell similar to that of the demonstrators

dotted line

what the rat would have eaten if they have never been exposed to the breath of a cumin eating rat

two types of receptors important for memory

AMPA and NMDA

AMPA

-not critical for learning , but it precedes NDMA

-Necessary for activation of NDMA

NMDA

-is critical for memory

-If AMPA is inhibited then it blocks NDMA from being activated

Tagging

Cell A and cell B, interact with one other early on

-Cell A: HPC
-Cell B: OFC

AP 5

a selective NMDA receptor antagonist that competitively inhibits the ligand binding site of NMDA receptors. AP5 blocks NMDA receptors in micromolar concentrations.
