TI  - An easy method to record slow potential shifts (SPS) in rabbits using the 
      "oddball" paradigm.
PG  - 257-63
AB  - Rabbits with chronically implanted Ag-AgCl electrodes over somatosensory and 
      visual cortex were trained to a modified 'oddball' paradigm with visual 
      stimulation. Event related potentials (ERP) and slow potential shifts (SPS) were 
      recorded. By means of a computer controlled stimulator 'frequent' and 'rare' LED 
      flashes were administered to the eyes of the rabbit. If 'rare' stimuli were 
      reinforced by a weak electrical footshock, negative SPS rose steeper and reached 
      significantly higher amplitudes than in 'frequent' conditions without 
      reinforcement. Different kinds of the follow-up of 'frequent' and 'rare' series 
      were tested. Best effects were obtained, if a session was divided into 3 blocks 
      (3 srs. 'frequent'--5 srs. 'rare' reinforced--2 srs. 'frequent' and probability 
      of 'rare' flashes was 20%. Our present data formed a basis for investigations on 
      the neuronal and glial sources of SPS in rabbits.
