Lithium chloride and delta-9-THC lead to conditioned aversions in the pigeon.

Conditioned aversive effects of delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and lithium chloride (LiCl) were demonstrated in pigeons. Pigeons injected with 0.15 M LiCl showed a reduction in preference for red water compared to pigeons injected with NaCl (P less than 0.001). Pigeons injected with saline or vehicle showed the same preference for red water while the pigeons injected with 2.0 mg/kg of THC showed a decreased preference (P less than 0.05).

The prevention of dental disease: changing your patients' behaviour.

This article aims to give practitioners a framework to help their patients establish lasting and healthy dental habits and eliminate harmful ones. The advice given is practical rather than theoretical in nature, and is intended to assist dentists in the development of the appropriate skills, so as to be able to persuade their patients to change their behaviour and thereby control dental disease.
