This study details methods for assessing human eyeblink (EB) and visceral responses during Pavlovian conditioning. Understanding these distinct central nervous system (CNS) pathways may illuminate neuropsychiatric disorders.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Animal research reveals distinct central nervous system (CNS) substrates for somatomotor and visceral conditioned responses (CRs).
  • These differences in acquisition functions suggest implications for understanding neuropsychiatric disorders in humans.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe methods for assessing somatomotor conditioned eyeblink (EB) responses and accompanying visceral changes in human subjects.
  • To explore the utility of concomitant conditioning of different response systems for inferring CNS structures involved in clinical problems.

Main Methods:

  • Assessment of conditioned and unconditioned eyeblink (EB) responses during Pavlovian conditioning.
  • Measurement of concomitant visceral changes, including heart rate, skin conductance, and respiration.

Main Results:

  • The paper outlines procedures for simultaneously measuring somatomotor (EB) and visceral responses.
  • The methodology allows for the concurrent assessment of multiple CRs in human participants.

Conclusions:

  • Concomitant assessment of diverse response systems during conditioning provides insights into CNS substrates.
  • This approach may enhance understanding of the neural underpinnings of various neuropsychiatric disorders.
