TLDR
Probably applications of this new understanding of the neural bases of learning and memory range from education to the treatment of learning disabilities to the design of new artificial intelligence systems.Abstract:
Study of the neurobiology of learning and memory is in a most exciting phase. Behavioral studies in animals are characterizing the categories and properties of learning and memory; essential memory trace circuits in the brain are being defined and localized in mammalian models; work on human memory and the brain is identifying neuronal systems involved in memory; the neuronal, neurochemical, molecular, and biophysical substrates of memory are beginning to be understood in both invertebrate and vertebrate systems; and theoretical and mathematical analysis of basic associative learning and of neuronal networks in proceeding apace. Likely applications of this new understanding of the neural bases of learning and memory range from education to the treatment of learning disabilities to the design of new artificial intelligence systems.read more

TL;DR: The most parsimonious hypothesis is that the essential memory traces for classical conditioning of eyelid closure, limb flexion, and other discrete responses learned with an aversive US are formed in cerebellar cortex and interpositus nucleus.

Cross-modal transfer in high- and low-risk infant pigtailed macaque monkeys
TL;DR: Etude des aptitudes de transfert entre modalites sensorielles chez des nourrissons Macaca nemestrina presentant un risque eleve ou faible de troubles cognitifs as discussed by the authors.
Book ChapterDOI
Biochemical Correlates of Learning and Memory
TL;DR: This chapter focuses on the known repertoire of biochemical responses that are available to the nerve cell, and the assumption that scientific discoveries of tomorrow will reveal previously unknown biochemical response potentials.

The effect of brachium conjunctivum transection on a conditioned limb response in the cat.
TL;DR: Seven cats were trained to perform a forelimb conditioned response to a paired tone conditioned stimulus (CS)/shock unconditioned stimulus (UCS) and Brachium conjunctivum section ipsilateral to the trained limb was carried out following criterion conditioned response performance.

TL;DR: This review proposes that the well-known action of the hypothalamic neuropeptide oxytocin (OXT) in the regulation of fear and stress responses is complementary to safety learning, and summarizes the literature focused on OXT signaling and safety learning in animals and humans.

Long-lasting potentiation of synaptic transmission in the dentate area of the anaesthetized rabbit following stimulation of the perforant path.
Timothy V. P. Bliss,T. Lømo +1 more
TL;DR: The after‐effects of repetitive stimulation of the perforant path fibres to the dentate area of the hippocampal formation have been examined with extracellular micro‐electrodes in rabbits anaesthetized with urethane.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Theory of Cerebellar Cortex
TL;DR: A detailed theory of cerebellar cortex is proposed whose consequence is that the cerebellum learns to perform motor skills and two forms of input—output relation are described, both consistent with the cortical theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Theory of Cerebellar Function
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, in order for the learning process to be stable, pattern storage must be accomplished principally by weakening synaptic weights rather than by strengthening them.

Habituation: A model phenomenon for the study of neuronal substrates of behavior.
TL;DR: An apparatus for cleaning and sterilizing objects, such as pharmaceutical caps, plugs and the like, includes an autoclave chamber and a cleaning device having a cleaning drum mounted for a free rotation on a frame.

Hippocampus, space, and memory
TL;DR: It is proposed that the hippocampus is selectively involved in behaviors that require working memory, irrespective of the type of material (spatial or nonspatial) that is to be processed by that memory.
