Neuronal Substrate of Classical Conditioning in the Hippocampus

Berger, Theodore W., Alger, Bradley, Thompson, Richard F.·1976·Science

Abstract

Neuronal activity in dorsal hippocampus was recorded in rabbits during classical conditioning of nictitating membrane response, with tone as conditioned stimulus and corneal air puff as unconditioned stimulus. Unit activity in hippocampus rapidly forms a temporal neuronal "model" of the behavioral response early in training. This hippocampal response does not develop in control animals given unpaired stimuli.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
