Lesions of the dorsal hippocampal formation interfere with background but not foreground contextual fear conditioning.

TL;DR: It is argued that the hippocampus is only involved in background contextual conditioning, and these results have implications for understanding both fear conditioning and hippocampal function.

Consumer Inference: A Review of Processes, Bases, and Judgment Contexts

TL;DR: In this paper, the most basic processes are induction (inferences from specific instances to general principles) versus deduction (inference from general principles to specific instances) and Stimulus-based inferences are formed on-line (as information is encountered) using situationally available information, whereas memory-based (or theory-based) inferences were formed using prior knowledge and experience.

Towards an immuno-precipitated neurodevelopmental animal model of schizophrenia.

TL;DR: Pregnant mouse dams receiving a single exposure to the cytokine-releasing agent, PolyI:C, on gestation day 9 produced offspring that subsequently exhibited multiple schizophrenia-related behavioural deficits in adulthood, in comparison to offspring from vehicle injected or non-injected control dams, leading to a conclusion that prenatal Polyi:C treatment represents one of the most powerful environmental-developmental models of schizophrenia to date.

Adaptive Resonance Theory: How a brain learns to consciously attend, learn, and recognize a changing world

TL;DR: This article reviews classical and recent developments of adaptive Resonance Theory, and provides a synthesis of concepts, principles, mechanisms, architectures, and the interdisciplinary data bases that they have helped to explain and predict.

Hippocampal mediation of stimulus representation: A computational theory

TL;DR: A computational theory of the hippocampal region's function in mediating stimulus representations suggests that a profitable direction for future empirical and theoretical research will be the study of learning tasks in which both intact and lesioned animals exhibit similar initial learning behaviors but differ on subsequent transfer and generalization tasks.
