Direct linkCalandreau, Ludovic; Desmedt, Aline; Decorte, Laurence; Jaffard, Robert – Learning & Memory, 2005
Convergent data suggest dissociated roles for the lateral (LA) and basolateral (BLA) amygdaloid nuclei in fear conditioning, depending on whether a discrete conditioned stimulus (CS)-unconditional stimulus (US) or context-US association is considered. Here, we show that pretraining inactivation of the BLA selectively impaired conditioning to…

Peer reviewedSears, Lonnie L.; And Others – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1994
This study evaluated eye-blink conditioning in 11 persons with autism (ages 11 to 22). Compared to matched controls, persons with autism learned the task faster but performed short-latency, high-amplitude conditioned responses. Results suggest this population has the ability to rapidly associate paired stimuli but may have impairments in…
