Olfactory Stimulus Control and the Behavioral Pharmacology of Remembering.
Behavior analytic approaches and techniques have much to offer to the study of remembering. There is currently great interest in the development of animal models of human memory processes in order to enhance understanding of the neurobiology of memory and treatment of dementia and related disorders. Because rodent models are so important in contemporary neuroscience and genetics, development of...
متن کاملContrast enhancement of stimulus intermittency in a primary olfactory network and its behavioral significance
BACKGROUND An animal navigating to an unseen odor source must accurately resolve the spatiotemporal distribution of that stimulus in order to express appropriate upwind flight behavior. Intermittency of natural odor plumes, caused by air turbulence, is critically important for many insects, including the hawkmoth, Manduca sexta, for odor-modulated search behavior to an odor source. When a moth'...
متن کاملEffects of Stimulus Contrast On
The effect of stimulus contrast changes on the binocular visual evoked response (VER) was investigated using pattern reversal VER, dichoptic stimulation, and Fast Fourier Transform. When the stimulus contrast was changed binocularly, the monocular components increased as the contrast increased. The binocular component first appeared at the level of 10% contrast; its magnitude was stable under a...
متن کاملStimulus Contrast and Retinogeniculate Signal Processing
Neuronal signals conveying luminance contrast play a key role in nearly all aspects of perception, including depth perception, texture discrimination, and motion perception. Although much is known about the retinal mechanisms responsible for encoding contrast information, relatively little is known about the relationship between stimulus contrast and the processing of neuronal signals between v...
متن کاملContrast, stimulus selectivity and neuronal responses
Neurones in visual cortex are known to show increasing response latency with decreasing stimulus contrast [1-5,7,9]. Neurophysiological recordings from neurones in inferior temporal cortex (IT) and the superior temporal sulcus (STS), show that the increment in response latency with decreasing stimulus contrast is considerably greater in higher visual areas than that seen in primary visual corte...
