Spatial judgment in Parkinson's disease: Contributions of attentional and executive dysfunction.

abstract：:Habituation has traditionally been considered a nonassociative form of learning. However, recent research suggests that retention of this nonassociative form of learning may be aided by associations formed during training. An example of this is context conditioning, in which animals that are trained and tested in the ...

abstract：:Previous research shows that prenatal binge ethanol exposure during gestation days (GD) 17 to 20 of the rat, increases postnatal ethanol intake and enhances ethanol's palatability, both effects being mediated by the opioid system.
