Biological and Theoretical Studies of Adaptive Networks: The Conditioned Response

Abstract

The following experimental projects were initiated: (a) Reexamination of the activity of neurons of cerebellar cortex during two-tone differential conditioning (Dr. Iwona Zurawska). (b) A recording study of the medial geniculate neurons during two-tone differential trace conditioning (Dr. Kevin O'Connor). (c) A recording study of pontine nucleus neurons during two-tone differential conditioning (Michael Hirl). (d) Anatomical experiments using WGA- HRP designed to clarify red nucleus innervation of the cerebellum (Marcy Rosenfield). (e) A behavioral experiment designed to assess attenuated latent inhibition by flagging , a phenomenon of potential importance for connectionist learning theories (Peter Underdown). In addition to the experimental work, my current team and I have initiated a major upgrading of experimental facilities.
