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

Receptive fields of single cells from the face zone of the cat rostral dorsal accessory olive.
TL;DR: The face Zone in the rDAO and the face zone in the PO form one continuous and complete map of the face with an orderly progression of receptive fields and it is found that stimulation of the red nucleus can inhibit r DAO cells with facial receptive fields just as it does cells with receptive fields from the rest of the body.

fMRI of the conscious rabbit during unilateral classical eyeblink conditioning reveals bilateral cerebellar activation.

TL;DR: FMRI in the conscious rabbit used to visualize the entire cerebellum simultaneously during eyeblink conditioning sessions suggests that both sides of HVI normally influence the side of the IPA being conditioned and illustrates how fMRI can be used to examine multiple brain regions simultaneously in an awake, behaving animal to discover the neural substrates of learning and memory.

The human cerebellum and associative learning: dissociation between the acquisition, retention and extinction of conditioned eyeblinks.
TL;DR: The results indicate that the cerebellar circuits, which are critical for the acquisition of new conditioned responses, are not essential for the storage and expression of naturally acquired conditioned responses.

Normal acquisition of novel verbal information in amnesia.
Gail Musen,Larry R. Squire +1 more
TL;DR: The results show that the acquisition of novel verbal information can be supported by nondeclarative (implicit) memory and suggest that facilitated reading speed for words and nonwords reflects changes in early-stage perceptual systems and that these changes occur independently of the brain structures damaged in amnesia.

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.

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.
