Abstract excerpt
The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of operant conditioning on the receptor pattern in the visual cortex of calves. A reward paradigm was used to induce conditioned preference for colours. Binding sites in visual cortex specimens from conditioned and naive animals were assayed in vitro on cellular basis after dissociation of the tissue by collagenase, incubation with fluorescent ligands and...
