Semiochemicals are volatile compounds that communicate specific meaning between individuals and elicit specific behavioral and/or physiological responses mediated by highly sensitive and highly specific olfactory pathways. Recent work suggests that semiochemicals can activate multiple olfactory pathways at once, but the degree to which parallel pathways activated by the same semiochemical interact and what the behavioral consequences of such interactions are remains a topic of debate. Here, we approached this question behaviorally, investigating whether rats could be trained to avoid carbon disulfide (CS₂; conditional stimulus) via taste-potentiated odor aversion, and asking whether any such learning would have an impact on rats' subsequent use of CS₂ as a semiochemical cue (i.e., in a socially transmitted food preference paradigm). The results show that CS₂-mediated food preference learning is unimpaired by aversions conditioned to CS₂, a result indicating that canonical and semiochemical pathways for the processing of CS₂ function in a largely independent manner.

Stability and flexibility of the message carried by semiochemical stimuli, as revealed by devaluation of carbon disulfide followed by social transmission of food preference.
