Hippocampal electrical activity during classical conditioning.

Abstract

HIPPOCAMPAL THETA RHYTHM WAS PRESENT DURING BOTH HABITUATION AND CLASSICAL CONDITIONING TRIALS IN 14 MALE HOLTZMAN RATS, BUT THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ITS FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS DURING THESE 2 CONDITIONS. RESULTS SUPPORT THE VIEW THAT HIPPOCAMPAL THETA RHYTHM IS A NEUROPHYSIOLOGICAL CORRELATE OF ATTENTION. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
