Neural substrates of eyeblink conditioning: acquisition and retention

KM Christian, RF Thompson - Learning & memory, 2003 - learnmem.cshlp.org
Classical conditioning of the eyeblink reflex to a neutral stimulus that predicts an aversive
stimulus is a basic form of associative learning. Acquisition and retention of this learned …

Long-term potentiation: what's learning got to do with it?

TJ Shors, LD Matzel - Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 1997 - cambridge.org
Long-term potentiation (LTP) is operationally defined as a long-lasting increase in synaptic
efficacy following high-frequency stimulation of afferent fibers. Since the first full description …

Human hippocampal theta oscillations and the formation of episodic memories

BC Lega, J Jacobs, M Kahana - Hippocampus, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
The importance of the hippocampal theta oscillation (4–8 Hz) to memory formation has been
well‐established through studies in animals, prompting researchers to propose …

Hippocampectomy impairs the memory of recently, but not remotely, acquired trace eyeblink conditioned responses.

JJ Kim, RE Clark, RF Thompson - Behavioral neuroscience, 1995 - psycnet.apa.org
Abstract New Zealand male rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) were trained on a trace eyeblink
conditioning paradigm using a 250-ms tone conditioned stimulus, a 100-ms airpuff …

Learning during stressful times

TJ Shors - Learning & memory, 2004 - learnmem.cshlp.org
Stressful life events can have profound effects on our cognitive and motor abilities, from
those that could be construed as adaptive to those not so. In this review, I discuss the …

Oscillatory brain states and learning: Impact of hippocampal theta-contingent training

MA Seager, LD Johnson, ES Chabot… - Proceedings of the …, 2002 - National Acad Sciences
Eyeblink classical conditioning is a relatively simple form of associative learning that has
become an invaluable tool in our understanding of the neural mechanisms of learning …

Do hippocampal pyramidal cells signal non‐spatial as well as spatial information?

J O'Keefe - Hippocampus, 1999 - Wiley Online Library
It is generally agreed that the rat hippocampus is involved in spatial memory. Whether this is
its sole or primary function, or merely one component of a broader function, is still debated. It …

Amygdaloid complex lesions differentially affect retention of tasks using appetitive and aversive reinforcement.

L Cahill, JL McGaugh - Behavioral neuroscience, 1990 - psycnet.apa.org
The hypothesis that the amgydaloid complex (AC) is involved in the formation of stimulus–
reward associations was examined. A series of experiments (1A–1C) directly compared the …

Acute stress rapidly and persistently enhances memory formation in the male rat

TJ Shors - Neurobiology of learning and memory, 2001 - Elsevier
Previous studies, as well as the present one, report that acute exposure to intermittent
tailshocks enhances classical eyeblink conditioning in male rats when trained 24 h after …

[PDF][PDF] Hippocampal neurophysiology in the behaving animal

O John - The hippocampus book, 2006 - weizmann.ac.il
This chapter addresses a central question in the study of the hippocampus: What information
is represented in hippocampal electrical activity? When asking this question, we are …
