The lack of a small animal model with an emetic reflex in which the relationship between conditioned food aversion and emesis could be investigated prompted a study of the insectivore, Suncus murinus (the house musk shrew). A novel food (either tuna or chicken cat food) was paired (C+) with a single exposure to either nicotine (4 mg/kg sc), motion (1 Hz, 4 cm, 10 min) or lithium chloride (100 mg/kg ip) or was paired (C−) with either saline or sham exposure to motion. Nicotine and motion both induced emesis (retching/vomiting) but lithium chloride did not. All three treatments produced a conditioned food aversion after a single pairing with consumption of C+ food. When given a choice between the two foods, S. murinus given lithium chloride, motion exposure and nicotine consumed, respectively, only 25%, 23% and 1% of their total intake from the C+ food. This study shows that a conditioned food aversion can be readily induced in S. murinus and that the induction of emesis can be uncoupled from food aversion. S. murinus provides a promising new model in which the relationship between emesis, nausea and conditioned food aversion can be investigated.
