Neurobiology of Procedural Learning in Animals

摘要: Procedural learning and memory involves the acquisition, consolidation, retrieval of individual representations that are behaviorally expressed in an inflexible manner. Stimulus–response habit represents a prominent form procedural mammalian brain. Extensive evidence supports hypothesis this is mediated by neural system contains dorsal striatum as primary component. Studies employing brain lesion techniques have dissociated roles hippocampus declarative memory, respectively. Pharmacological studies indicate selective role for striatal dopamine, acetylcholine, glutamate consolidation underlying stimulus–response learning.
