Differential effects of hippocampectomy on classically conditioned rabbit nictitating membrane response related to interstimulus interval - PubMed (original) (raw)

R L Port et al. Behav Neurosci. 1985 Apr.

Abstract

The effects of hippocampal ablation on acquisition rates and temporal characteristics of classically conditioned nictitating membrane responses were examined in groups of rabbits trained with a 150-, 300-, or 600-ms interstimulus interval. Acquisition rates were accelerated in the 150- and 600-ms groups. No effect was present in the 300-ms group. Response onset latencies were also affected in the 150-ms group. These findings were interpreted to support the notion that the hippocampus modulates learned motor behavior by a neural model of the response to be executed.
