Simplified schematic of the essential brain
circuitry involved in classical conditioning of discrete
responses—e.g., eyeblink response. Shadowed boxes represent areas that
have been reversibly inactivated during training. (a)
Inactivation of motor nuclei including facial (7th) and accessory 6th.
(b) Inactivation of magnocellular red nucleus.
(c) Inactivation of dorsal aspect of the anterior
interpositus nucleus and overlying cerebellar cortex.
(d) Inactivation of ventral anterior interpositus
nucleus and associated white matter. (e) Complete
inactivation of the superior cerebellar peduncle (scp), essentially all
output from the cerebellar hemisphere. See text for details. (Reprinted
