Quantal duration of auditory memories.

Neuronal responses in the caudomedial neostriatum (NCM) of adult zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) decreased upon repeated, unreinforced presentations of conspecific song, calls, or other complex sounds. This "stimulus-specific habituation" is a form of learning, and its spontaneous loss, a form of "forgetting." Spontaneous forgetting occurred only at narrowly defined times (2 to 3, 6 to 7, 14 to 15, 17 to 18.5, 46 to 48, or 85 to 89 hours after first exposure to a stimulus), determined by stimulus class, number of presentations, and interval between presentations. The first five forgetting times coincided with periods when gene expression and protein synthesis in NCM were required for maintenance of the longer lasting (85 to 89 hours) habituation. The number of successive episodes of gene expression induced by a stimulus, but occurring long after stimulus presentation, appears to determine the quantal duration of auditory memories.

Antipsychotic drug effects in a model of schizophrenic attentional disorder: a randomized controlled trial of the effects of haloperidol on latent inhibition in healthy people.

We studied the effects of haloperidol (0.5 mg, intravenously) on latent inhibition in an auditory paradigm and two visual paradigms in healthy subjects. Haloperidol increased latent inhibition in one visual paradigm and tended to increase latent inhibition in an auditory task, compared to saline-injected controls. These results indicate that haloperidol can enhance the selectivity of attention. In contrast, previous studies have reported that acute schizophrenics show reduced latent inhibition.

Changes in CM and CAP with sedation and temperature in the guinea pig: facts and interpretation.

The influence of xylazine on the amplitude, latency and waveform of VIIIth nerve compound action potential (CAP) and cochlear microphonic (CM) in response to clicks at 95 dB SPL in normal awake preimplanted guinea pigs was investigated. The animals' temperature was monitored but no thermoregulation was exerted, except in one control experiment. Following a 0.2 ml injection of xylazine, CM showed minor variations while CAP audiograms for tone pips between 0.5 and 25 kHz remained normal. However, a progressive decrease in temperature and a strongly correlated increase in CAP amplitude and in N1 and N2 latencies were noticed. For peak N1 the changes were equivalent to linear amplitude and time expansions, and could be reproduced through CAP synthesis with convolution methods using time expanded unit response model and firing density functions. All changes were maximal after 2 h of sedation and recovered within approximately another 2 h. Whereas xylazine is known to induce hypothermia, all the changes disappeared if the animal was thermoregulated. Therefore the changes are interpreted as a result of hypothermia. The mechanism of N1 latency lengthening and increase in amplitude during hypothermia can be understood as a simultaneous increase in spike duration, hair cell/nerve synaptic delay and postsynaptic time constant. This hypothesis yielded a theoretical temperature coefficient for N1 latency (-52 microseconds/degree C) matching that measured experimentally (-55 microseconds/degree C). When compared with peak N1, peak N2 appeared relatively more expanded. Arguments about the origin of N2 are discussed.
