Responses of Macaque Perirhinal Neurons during and after Visual
Stimulus Association Learning

Recent lesion studies have implicated the perirhinal cortex in
learning that two objects are associated, i.e., visual association learning. In this experiment we tested whether neuronal responses to
associated stimuli in perirhinal cortex are altered over the course of
learning. Neurons were recorded from monkeys during performance of a
visual discrimination task in which a predictor stimulus was followed,
after a delay, by a GO or NO-GO choice stimulus. Association learning
had two major influences on neuronal responses. First, responses to
frequently paired predictor-choice stimuli were more similar to one
another than was the case with infrequently paired stimuli. Second, the
magnitude of activity during the delay was correlated with the
magnitude of responses to both the predictor and choice stimuli. Both
of these learning effects were found only for stimulus pairs that had
been associated on at least 2 d of training. Early in training,
the delay activity was correlated only with the response to the
predictor stimuli. Thus, with long-term training, perirhinal neurons
tend to link the representations of temporally associated stimuli.
