A Model of Implicit Association Learning Based on Plasticity in the Perirhinal Cortex
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the delayed match-to-sample task, responses of inferior temporal neurons to adjacent stimuli in the sequence are correlated to each other when the monkey was trained repeatedly with the sequence of visual stimuli, although the monkey was not required to associate the stimuli with each other. This correlation, however, is not observed for a monkey with lesions of the rhinal cortex, which is not consistently explained by existing models of such correlated responses. In the present study, we construct a model consisting of two networks corresponding to area TE and the perirhinal cortex, and show that perirhinal plasticity may underlie the mechanism of implicit association learning.

FEM Implementation of the Coupled Elastoplastic/Damage Model: Failure Prediction of Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) Composites
The coupled damage/plasticity model for meso-level which is ply-level in case of Uni-Directional (UD) Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) is implemented. The mathematical formulations, particularly the plasticity part, are discussed in a comprehensive manner. The plastic potential is defined in effective stress space and the damage evolution is based on the theory of irreversible thermodynamics. T...
متن کاملComparison of computational models of familiarity discrimination in the perirhinal cortex.
This study compares the efficiency and plausibility of published computational models of familiarity discrimination in the perirhinal cortex. Substantial evidence indicates that the perirhinal cortex is involved in both the familiarity discrimination aspect of recognition memory and in perceptual functions involved with representations of complete stimuli (i.e., object identification). Publishe...
متن کاملLearning-specific changes in long-term depression in adult perirhinal cortex.
Learning is widely believed to involve synaptic plasticity, using mechanisms such as those used in long-term potentiation (LTP). We assess whether the mechanisms used in alternative forms of plasticity, long-term depression (LTD) and depotentiation, play a role in learning. We have exploited the involvement of the perirhinal cortex in two different forms of learning to compare simultaneously, w...
متن کاملExpression of Long-Term Depression Underlies Visual Recognition Memory
The modifications occurring in the brain during learning and memory are still poorly understood but may involve long-lasting changes in synaptic transmission (synaptic plasticity). In perirhinal cortex, a lasting decrement in neuronal responsiveness is associated with visual familiarity discrimination, leading to the hypothesis that long-term depression (LTD)-like synaptic plasticity may underl...
