Abstract
The rabbit conditioned eyeblink (nictitating membrane response, NMR) can be trained to occur with a latency varying from about 100 msec to more than 2000 msec [3]. This programmable delay is, in fact, a common feature of classically conditioned responses. Can such a range of delays arise naturally in a simple neuronal network as a function of connection strengths?
