Biological Investigations of Adaptive Networks: Neuronal Control of Conditioned Responding

Abstract

This algorithm was originally developed by John E. Desmond. With additional work by Neil Berthier, and with advice from Rich Sutton, this model has been rendered into a form that can make predictions about CR topography and the firing pattern of neurons related to the CR. The original version of the model could do this reasonably well for the case of a single CS paired with the US in a forward-delay paradigm. The model has now been generalized so that it can predict CR topography (or simply associative strength) and single-unit physiological data within complex training paradigms that involve two CSs with independent on-and-off-times with respect to each other and the US.
