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)

LTP vs LTD in the hippocampus

LTP: long-term potentiationLTD: long-term depression

Page 11: Learning

LTP vs. LTD is dependent on the number of connections and successful transmissions

Page 12: Learning

This results in a change in the intensity of neuronal firing, pre-synaptically

Page 13: Learning

And in a change in receptor expression, post-synpatically
