TL;DR: It is concluded that the hippocampus may be involved in contextual learning under certain--as yet, unspecified--circumstances, but is not critical for contextual learning in general.

Activity-dependent presynaptic facilitation: an associative mechanism in Aplysia.

TL;DR: The preliminary results indicate that Ca2+/calmodulin is able to potentiate the activation of adenylate cyclase in Aplysia neurons by facilitatory transmitter, and the dual activation of the calmodulin-dependent cyclase by Ca2- and transmitter may give this enzyme an important associative role in learning.

Learning when reward is delayed: a marking hypothesis.

TL;DR: Learning was found to be just as strong when the choice response was followed by an intense light or noise as by handling and the implication of marking for other phenomena such as avoidance, quasi-reinforcement, and the paradoxical effects of punishment is discussed.
