In eyeblink conditioning, the US information is conveyed in the cerebellum via
A)mossy fibers.
B)auditory neurons.
C)climbing fibers.
D)pontine neurons.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Climbing fibers carry information about the unconditioned stimulus (US) to the Purkinje cells in the cerebellum during eyeblink conditioning. Mossy fibers carry information about the conditioned stimulus (CS), and pontine neurons are involved in transmitting CS information to the cerebellum. Auditory neurons are not directly involved in conveying US information in eyeblink conditioning.
