Activations above baseline responding of single dopamine neurons in the midbrain were recorded with intracranial electrodes as the conditioned response. They found that the X stimulus not only counteracted the activations produced by a conditioned excitor (i.e., summation), but it also depressed the dopamine neurons activity below the baseline when presented alone.
In a first work, Hoffland and coworkers [16] demonstrated that cTBS, when applied on the right cerebellar hemisphere before EBCC, was able to interfere with the acquisition of conditioned responses (CRs) tested just after conditioning, although retention, reacquisition, and extinction of CR was not affected after one week.
