Document Summary
Hebb stated memory results from synaptic modification. Learn to ignore stimuli or learn to intensify response to it: nonassociative learning involves habitiation and sensitization, associative learning involves classical conditioning, associative learning can be instrumental conditioning (operant) Pair an uc with cs to get a cr. Memory can result from modifications of synaptic transmission: modifications can be result of second messengers in the cell, memories can result from alterations in existing synaptic proteins, cerebellum has purkinje layer. Synaptic plasticity in the cerebellar cortex an important site for motor learning. Dendrites fan out to molecular (outer) layer. Axons project to deep cerebellar nuclei (outputs for cerebellum) Receives input from inferior olive by one climbing fibre. Receives input from parallel fibres of granule cells. Many parallel fibres synapse per purkinje cell: ltd in purkinje fibre. Parallel fibre on its own produces notable epsp in purkinje. Parallel fibre on its own again produces smaller epsp.
