Discriminative conditioning with different CS-US intervals produces temporally differentiated conditioned responses in the two eyes of the rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus).

29 Sep 2009 The conditioned eyeblink response (CR) in rabbits is lateralized to the eye targeted by the unconditioned stimulus (US). However, a contralateral component has been reported during concurrent discriminative conditioning of the two eyes. The authors ... Read more...

Classical conditioning in the vegetative and minimally conscious state.

18 Sep 2009 Pavlovian trace conditioning depends on the temporal gap between the conditioned and unconditioned stimuli. It requires, in mammals, functional medial temporal lobe structures and, in humans, explicit knowledge of the temporal contingency. It is ... Read more...

The convergence of information about rewarding and aversive stimuli in single neurons.

14 Sep 2009 Neuroscientists, psychologists, clinicians, and economists have long been interested in how individuals weigh information about potential rewarding and aversive stimuli to make decisions and to regulate their emotions. However, we know relatively ... Read more...
