The role of the hippocampal theta rhythm in non-spatial discrimination and associative learning task.

摘要: The configural association theory and the conflict resolution model propose that hippocampal function is involved in learning negative patterning tasks (A+, B+, AB-). first suggests a critical role of hippocampus formation representations compound stimuli, which stimuli A B are presented simultaneously. second hypothesizes important for inhibiting response to stimulus with tendencies. Although these theories different interpretations link between non-spatial discrimination tasks, they both predict information processing tasks. Recently, our electrophysiological approach has shown theta power correlate inhibition task, positive patterning, simultaneous/serial feature task. These findings provide strong support assumption inhibit responses conflicting during
