Behavior

Eyeblink conditioning is used as a model Pavlovian behavioral paradigm, as it offers excellent stimulus control, ease of precise behavioral measurement, and robust associative learning. Eyeblink conditioning is being combined with other cognitive evaluations in young, aging, and neurologically impaired humans. Eyeblink conditioning and other behavioral tasks are being developed in the mouse so that we may examine aged, transgenic, and knockout strains of mice behaviorally, biophysically, and with pharmacological agents.
