Rabbits with electrodes implanted in the dorsal hippocampus were trained on the acquisition of the nictitating membrane response. Posttrial application of subseizure-level electrical stimulation within a single session resulted in a facilitation of nictitating membrane response conditioning. In contrast, seizure-level stimulation within a single session and subseizure-level stimulation in multiple sessions had no facilitatory or deleterious effects on conditioning. It is suggested that dorsal hippocampus stimulation facilitates conditioning by activation of midbrain and cerebellar circuits.
将电极植入背侧海马体的兔子接受了瞬膜反应习得训练。在单次训练后施加低于癫痫发作水平的电刺激会促进瞬膜反应条件反射。相比之下，单次训练中的癫痫发作水平刺激以及多次训练中的低于癫痫发作水平刺激对条件反射没有促进或有害影响。有人提出，背侧海马体刺激通过激活中脑和小脑回路来促进条件反射。
