Indeed, masticatory and gustatory stimuli appear to stimulate salivation through different mechanisms.
When the condition is not met - that is, when food does not regularly follow - reflexive salivation stops; the conditional reflex is inhibited.
Salivation is largely controlled by the salivary centre, located in the medulla and pons, through the autonomic nervous system.
For example, the sound of the food dispenser may function concurrently as elicitor of conditioned salivation and conditioned reinforcer for lever presses.
No longer was it necessary to say that representation of food in the dog's mind, a psychic event, caused salivation, a physical event.
I had throat cramps, too, and an awful lot of salivation.
The average length of each sieve element salivation period was significantly longer on nitrogen-deficient seedlings.
Characterization of both behavioural and chemical aspects of aphid salivation are important for a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in aphid-plant interactions.
