Sperry's proposal that subjective experience plays a major role in brain function and in the emergence of mind, consciousness and human values represent a challenge to behaviorism as the dominant force in psychology. Mind is viewed as an emergent…
Five cats were trained to perform a forelimb conditioned response to a paired tone CS/shock UCS. Rubrospinal tract section ipsilateral to the trained limb was carried out following criterion CR performance. Lesion sites were identified histologically…
Seven cats were trained to perform a forelimb conditioned response to a paired tone conditioned stimulus (CS)/shock unconditioned stimulus (UCS). Brachium conjunctivum section ipsilateral to the trained limb was carried out following criterion…
We describe the development of a computer-assisted instructional tool for the neurosciences. Designed to run on readily available MS-DOS computers, the Graphic Brain utilizes computer-generated static and animated images and accompanying text to…
Fragments of fetal rat cerebellar tissue were grafted into forebrain cortical lesion cavities of adult rats. After a survival ranging from 12-151 days, no graft was found to fill the cavity completely. Large neurons, occasionally grouped into nests,…
Lesions were placed in various parts of the inferior olivary nucleus and olivocerebellar tract in an attempt to define further the role of the inferior olive in the performance of a conditioned limb-flexion response (LFR) in cats. Thirty-two cats…
