Pavlovian conditioning of discriminatively elicited eyeblink responses with short onset latency attributable to lengthened interstimulus intervals. 1987

T Hirano, and C Woody, and D Birt, and S Aou, and J Miyake, and V Nenov

Conditioned eyeblink responses were obtained in cats by pairing click (CS) with glabella tap (US) and electrical stimulation of the hypothalamus (HS). Hiss was used as a discriminative stimulus (DS). Onset latencies of conditioned responses (CRs) of 20-56 ms were obtained by using an interstimulus interval (ISI) of 570-10 ms between CS and US-HS. Longer latency (90-320 ms) blink CRs were obtained with ISIs of 340-240 and 340-10 ms. The timing of associatively learned movements has been thought to increase with lengthening of the intervals between CS and US presentation. The production of shorter latency CRs of this type by lengthening the ISI is a novel result and one unexpected from widely held beliefs.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
