The role of habituation of mouthing activity in the control of ingestion was investigated in 6-, 12-, and 18-day-old rat pups. In pups at all ages, oral habituation to a flavored diet inhibited ingestion of a continuous oral infusion of that same diet. Twelve-day-old pups that had orally habituated to a diet continued to consume less of a continuous oral infusion of that diet both 30 min and 3 hr later, and the duration of suppressed ingestion was shown to be dependent on the rate of stimulus presentation during habituation experience. These data suggest that oral habituation may be a diet-specific influence on both intra- and intermeal patterning.
研究了6日龄、12日龄和18日龄幼鼠中口部活动习惯化在摄食控制中的作用。在所有年龄段的幼鼠中，对有味食物的口腔习惯化会抑制连续口腔输注相同食物的摄入量。对某种食物进行口腔习惯化的12日龄幼鼠，在30分钟和3小时后，对该食物连续口腔输注的摄入量仍然较少，并且抑制摄食的持续时间显示取决于习惯化过程中刺激呈现的速率。这些数据表明，口腔习惯化可能是对餐内和餐间模式的一种食物特异性影响。
