The hippocampus is believed to be an important structure for learning tasks that require temporal processing of information. The trace classical conditioning paradigm requires temporal processing because the conditioned stimulus (CS) and the unconditioned stimulus (US) are temporally separated by an
Contextual fear conditioning by 18-and 23-day-old rats was compared in two training contexts, a transparent Plexiglas chamber or a black Plexiglas chamber. As measured by a conditioned defensive freezing response, older rats displayed more contextual fear than younger rats. At both ages conditioning
## Abstract The role of the hippocampus in memory is commonly investigated by comparing fear conditioning paradigms that differ in their reliance on the hippocampus. For example, the dorsal (septal) portion of the hippocampus is involved in trace, but not delay fear conditioning, two Pavlovian para
