A cellular mechanism of classical conditioning in Aplysia: activity-dependent amplification of presynaptic facilitation.

TL;DR: Results of these cellular experiments are quantitatively similar to the results of behavioral experiments with the same protocol and parameters, suggesting that activity-dependent amplification of presynaptic facilitation may make a significant contribution to classical conditioning of the withdrawal reflex.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-Term Habituation of a Defensive Withdrawal Reflex in Aplysia

TL;DR: Siphon withdrawal, studied in unrestrained animals, showed marked habituation within a single ten-trial training session, and spaced training produced significantly longer lasting habituation than massed training.
Journal ArticleDOI

Invertebrate learning and memory: from behavior to molecules.

TL;DR: A variety of disciplines such as neuroethology, psychology, and modern neurobiology have merged in a concerted effort to develop invertebrate preparations in which these combined approaches can be focused on the general theme of the cellular basis of behavioral plasticity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential classical conditioning of a defensive withdrawal reflex in Aplysia californica

TL;DR: The finding that two independent afferent inputs that activate a common set of interneurons and motor neurons can be differentially conditioned restricts the possible cellular loci involved in the associative learning.
