    ..These results suggest that the high motivation provided by MFB reward engenders rapidly formed, long-lasting, and surprisingly flexibly deployable "habit" memories...

    Behav Brain Res 177:322-8. 2007
    ..Behav Brain Res 1989;32(1):11-21], these results indicate that rats do not have a sensory hierarchy for solving the reach-to-grasp-food task, but rather, are guided by olfaction alone until their paw contacts the food morsel...

    Raymond Hermer-Vazquez
    Behavioral Neuroscience Program, Department of Psychology, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611, USA
    Exp Brain Res 180:217-35. 2007
    ..These results indicate that transient, multispectral coherence across cortical and subcortical brain sites is part of the coordination process prior to sensory-guided movement initiation...

    Raymond Hermer-Vazquez
    Behavioral Neuroscience Program, Department of Psychology, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611, USA
    Brain Res Bull 79:6-14. 2009
    ..We suggest that SFBs do not carry information per se, but rather, play a role in coordinating activity in different frequency bands, potentially brain-wide, as animals progress from sleep or anesthesia toward full consciousness...
