Disinhibition of inhibitory conditioned responses following selective brain lesions in dogs
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|December 22, 1961
Abstract:
Discrete lesion of the genual portion of the anterior cingulate gyrus in three dogs produced temporary disinhibition of preoperatively trained inhibitory food conditioned responses. This disinhibition was accompanied by increase in general behavior motivated by food reinforcement. Lesion of the posterior cingulate gyrus in three other dogs did not produce such impairment.

01:20Desensitization and Tachyphylaxis
Tachyphylaxis is described as a rapid decrease in response to a drug after repeated or continuous administration of the same drug dose. It is a phenomenon where the body becomes less responsive to a particular substance or intervention over time, requiring higher doses or stronger interventions to achieve the same effect. It results from adaptive changes in the body's receptors, signaling pathways, or physiological processes that occur in response to prolonged exposure to a stimulus.

01:23Principles of Classical Conditioning
Classical conditioning, as described by Ivan Pavlov, is a foundational concept in associative learning, where a neutral stimulus becomes capable of eliciting a conditioned response through association with an unconditioned stimulus. The process of acquisition, where this learning occurs, and the subsequent phenomena of contiguity, contingency, generalization, discrimination, extinction, and spontaneous recovery are crucial for a comprehensive understanding of classical conditioning.
