Odor aversion learning by the rat fetus
TLDR
Rat fetuses exposed to an odor stimulus on day 20 of gestation via amniotic injection and then injected with LiCl and 10 day old pups trained to approach an anesthetized dam in a runway for suckling reinforcement indicate that the fetal rat is capable of odor aversion learning.About:

Human foetuses learn odours from their pregnant mother's diet
TL;DR: This study provides the first clear evidence that through their diet human mothers influence the hedonic polarity of their neonates' initial olfactory responses and has potential implications for the early mother-to-infant transmission of chemosensory information relative to food and addictive products.

Tracey J. Shors,Louis D. Matzel +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that LTP may serve as a neural equivalent to an arousal or attention device in the brain that may facilitate the induction of memories at distant synapses and increase in a nonspecific way the effective salience of discrete external stimuli.

Behavioural mechanisms of food selection.
TL;DR: This uniquely broad synthesis captures the state of the art in the study of diet selection and prescribes new objectives in theoretical development and research.

First suckling response of the newborn albino rat: the roles of olfaction and amniotic fluid
TL;DR: Washing the nipples of anesthetized parturient rats virtually eliminated nipple attachment by their young and provides behavioral evidence for olfactory function in the newborn albino rat.

Appetitive Learning in 1-Day-Old Rat Pups
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that milk may serve as a reinforcer to deprived rat pups and that pups as young as 1 day are capable of appetitive learning.

In utero taste/odor aversion conditioning in the rat.
TL;DR: Data show that rat fetuses at 20 days of gestation are capable of associative learning which can be demonstrated more than two weeks postnatally.

Odor-aversion learning in neonatal rats
Jerry W. Rudy,Martin D. Cheatle +1 more
TL;DR: Two-day-old rats were exposed to a novel odor and injected with an illness-inducing drug, lithium chloride, and these pups avoided pine shavings scented with the odor, whereas control pups did not, implying that rat pups are capable of associative learning at a much earlier age than was thought possible.

Emergence of interoceptive and exteroceptive control of behavior in rats
TL;DR: Interoceptive control of aversively motivated behaviors seems to develop before exteroceptive Control, and the failure of previous studies to find reliable learning and retention of shock-motivated behaviors before 8 to 10 days of age may be attributable to the site to which shock was applied rather than to insensitivity to shock per se.
