Born to Learn: the Inspiration, Progress, and Future of Evolved Plastic Artificial Neural Networks (2017, background): “Walters and Byrne (1983) showed that a single neuron can perform associative learning such as classical conditioning, a class of learning that is observed in simple neural systems such as by the Aplysia (Carew et al., 1981).”
The molecular and systems biology of memory. (2014, unknown): “Classical Conditioning Next, Hawkins and his colleagues (Hawkins et al., 1983) and Walters and Byrne (1983) succeeded in producing classical conditioning of the Aplysia gill-withdrawal reflex and began to analyze the mechanisms underlying this form of learning.”
The restless engram: consolidations never end. (2012, background): “A recent example on how thismay happen in episodicmemory in the human brain is provided byWatrous et al. (2013). They employed simultaneous electrocorticographical (ECoG) recordings in patients undergoing seizure monitoring and recorded from areas in the medial temporal lobe (MTL), prefrontal cortex”
Loss of calcium/calmodulin responsiveness in adenylate cyclase of rutabaga, a Drosophila learning mutant. (1984, background): “Five single gene X-linked mutations have been isolated that either block associative learning or shorten memory (Dudai et al., 1976; Quinn et al., 1979; Aceves-Piiia et al., 1983).”
