abstract = {The lateral parabrachial complex has been related to various emotional-affective processes. It has been
shown that electrical stimulation of the external Lateral Parabrachial (LPBe) nucleus can induce reinforcing
effects in place preference and taste discrimination tasks but does not appear to support self-stimulation.
This study examined the relative relevance of place and taste stimuli after electrical stimulation of
the LPBe nucleus. A learning discrimination task was conducted that simultaneously included both sensory
indexes (taste and place) in order to determine the preference of animals for one or the other. After a
taste stimulus reversal task, the rewarding effect of stimulation was found to be preferentially associated
with place. These results are discussed in the context of the rewarding action and biological constraints
induced by different natural and artificial reinforcing agents.},
