Excitotoxic lesions of the hippocampus leave sensory preconditioning intact: implications for models of hippocampal function.

Learning about contextual cues is markedly disrupted in rats with hippocampal lesions. One analysis of this disruption is that it reflects a general failure to form associations between the elements of complex events. A straightforward prediction of this analysis is that sensory preconditioning wi...
