Identification of the US response. Note the extended proboscis in contact with the filter paper. |
|
Application of the US with a syringe. Note the extended proboscis in contact with the tip of the syringe. |
|
Example of the conditioning arrangement. Note the large syringe used to administer the CS odor and the small syringe to administer the sucrose solution US. |
|
A second example of the conditioning arrangement this time using the filter paper method of administering the US. |
Example of conditioning data obtained with the so called "Killer Bee". The CS is the odor of Citral and the US is a 3 second feeding of a sucrose solution. Note the difference between a group of animals receiving paired training and a second group receiving unpaired CS and US presentations. Note also, the extinction performance when the sucrose US is no longer presented.
