Abstract

Previously we have shown that Gluck and Myers's (1993) corticohippocampal
model could be extended to incorporate Hasselmo and Schnell's (1994) hypothesis that
septohippocampal cholinergic processes regulate the amount of information storage in
hippocampus. The generalized model could account for the effect of the anticholinergic drug
scopolamine in delaying onset of eyeblink conditioning (Myers et al., 1996). Here, we show
that the model also accounts for additional eyeblink results, including quick recovery after
