2. Describe the properties of a Hebbian synapse?

3. In Pavlov's experiments with dogs in which he paired the sound of a bell with an injection of food to the mouth, what was the CS? UCS? UCR? CR?

4. Is it easier (faster) to learn an association using a delay classical conditioning paradigm or a trace conditioning paradigm? Why?

5. Draw and label the major parts (CA fields) of the hippocampus (include the dentate gyrus)? Where is the hippocampus located?

6. What is a Schaffer collateral?

7. Are partial or total lesions of the hippocampus more disruptive to learning of a delay classical conditioning task?
