In three dogs with complete removal of the visual cortex and one with destruction of the superior colliculi the rate of acquisition and extinction of conditioned eyelid closing, established on the basis of the unconditioned reflex to a puff of air, were the same as in normal dogs. There was a slight increase in latency in the operated animals. A conditioned response established before bilateral removal of the occipital lobes was retained after the operation, making its appearance spontaneously within 5 days. The only significant change in the response was its increased latency. The post-operative delay in appearance of the response was shown to be due to removal of the occipital lobes as such and not to anesthetization." The normal reflex opening to light was not appreciably altered in frequency or amplitude after occipital lobectomy, but showed a slightly longer latency. The occurrence of increased latency of the same order of magnitude for both the reflex and the conditioned response supports an explanation in terms of reduction of facilitory background with consequent lengthening of the summation period of the responses." The authors offer evidence indicating that" the conditioned response is the same in normal dogs as after removal of the visual cortex." They point out, also, that" the normal neural mechanism of conditioning has been practically undisturbed by removal of the occipital lobes. Evidence is presented that the essential locus of this neural mechanism is sub-cortical." Bibliography.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
