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

Dissociation between medial temporal lobe and basal ganglia memory systems in schizophrenia.
TL;DR: This is the first study to show that patients with schizophrenia exhibit deficits during MTL-dependent learning, but not during BG- dependent learning within a single task.

Duality of cerebellar motor and cognitive functions.
TL;DR: This chapter contends that the dichotomy often made between motor processes and cognitive processes is inconsistent with the organization of behaviors in general and that, when a broader, more integrative view is adopted, a role of the cerebellum in "cognitive" processes is not only expected but also necessary given this structure's contribution to motor coordination and behavioral adaptations.
Attention, habituation and conditioning: toward a computational model
TL;DR: It is shown that attention puts similar demands on a cognitive system as motor control and evidence is presented supporting the view that similar mechanisms operate in the two processes.

Effects of early hippocampal lesions on trace, delay, and long-delay eyeblink conditioning in developing rats.
Dragana Ivkovich,Mark E. Stanton +1 more
TL;DR: The results of two experiments indicated that hippocampal lesions impaired trace eyeblink conditioning more than either type of delay conditioning, suggesting that during ontogeny hippocampal maturation may be more important for the short-term memory component than for the long-ISI component of trace eyeblinks conditioning.

Medial cerebellum and long-term habituation of acoustic startle in rats.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the medial cerebellum (cortex and nuclei) is part of the essential circuitry for LTH of acoustic startle, whereas the lateral cerebellar nuclei is not involved in the basic habituation process.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
