Pavlovian conditioning

Pavlovian conditioning is an outstanding example of a systemic process involving several cerebral structures and several modes of learning. This year, we have made more precise our model of amygdala [7] , with a special emphasis on the variety of its inputs, including by neuromodulation [12] . We have also specifically discussed and contrasted the role of cerebral structures involved in this learning, from the point of view of information processing [11] . In addition to the amygdala, the structures of interest are the hippocampus and the posterior and prefrontal cortex and begin to be investigated in ongoing studies.
