Quantifying Learning Beyond Exams…..
Principles of Neural Science (Kandel): Chapter 63
Terms used to quantify learning in animal models:
• Habituation- animal is less reactive to an external stimulus
• Sensitization- animal is more reactive to an external stimulus
• Conditioning (albeit it classical or operant)- behavioral or physiological events are reinforced by pairing two external stimuli that are inherently mutually exclusive (bell and food)
Neuronal Identification of Habituation vs Sensitization
Neuronal Identifications of Habituation
Neuronal Identifications of Habituation
Neuronal Identifications of Sensitization
Neuronal Identifications of Sensitization (Short-Term, Cytoplasmic)
Neuronal Identifications of Sensitization (Long-Term, Nuclear)
LTP vs LTD in the hippocampus
LTP: long-term potentiationLTD: long-term depression
LTP vs. LTD is dependent on the number of connections and successful transmissions
This results in a change in the intensity of neuronal firing, pre-synaptically
And in a change in receptor expression, post-synpatically
