Discrimination of serial auditory patterns in rats : roles of configural and elemental associations
In order to test whether rats could discriminate between tone sequences, food deprived rats were given appetitive discrimination conditioning with repeated ascending or descending series of musical notes serving as conditioned stimuli (CSs). The other type of tone sequence was reinforced as the other was followed by nothing. In Experiment 1, each series of 8 tones formed a 2 s cycle. The cycle was repeated six times so that the duration of the whole sequence was 12 s. In Experiment 2, the CSs were similar to those in Experiment 1 except that they started with a random note. As a result, rats could discriminate between the stimuli when the CS started systematically with the same note. When the starting note of the CS was randomized rats could not make the discrimination. Thus, according to this study, in a discrimination learning paradigm with serial auditory compounds rats probably form an association between the first tone and the US (or lack of it) but not with the serial pattern and the US.

Common and separable behavioral and neural mechanisms underlie the generalization of fear and disgust
Wang, Jinxia; Sun, Xiaoying; Becker, Benjamin; Lei, Yi (Elsevier BV, 2022)Generalization represents the transfer of a conditioned responses to stimuli that resemble the conditioned stimulus (CS). Previous studies on generalization of defensive avoidance responses have primarily focused on fear ... -
Auditory cortical and hippocampal-system mismatch responses to duration deviants in urethane-anesthetized rats
Ruusuvirta, Timo; Lipponen, Arto; Pellinen, Eeva; Penttonen, Markku; Astikainen, Piia (Public Library of Science, 2013-04-05)Any change in the invariant aspects of the auditory environment is of potential importance. The human brain preattentively or automatically detects such changes. The mismatch negativity (MMN) of event-related potentials ... -
Intranasal oxytocin decreases fear generalization in males, but does not modulate discrimination threshold
Dou, Haoran; Zou, Liye; Becker, Benjamin; Lei, Yi (Springer, 2021)Background: A previously acquired fear response often spreads to perceptually or conceptually close stimuli or contexts. This process, known as fear generalization, facilitates the avoidance of danger, and dysregulations ... -
Transkraniaalisen tasavirtastimulaation vaikutukset erottelu- ja käänteisoppimiseen sekä reagointiherkkyyden muutoksiin
Nelimarkka, Anna; Palovaara, Elina (2017)Transkraniaalisella tasavirtastimulaatiolla (tDCS) tarkoitetaan menetelmää, jossa johdetaan heikkoa sähkövirtaa aivokudosten läpi elektrodilta toiselle. Tutkimusten mukaan tDCS:lla näyttäisi olevan monenlaisia kliinisiä ...
