Latent inhibition, which is the phenomenon where a familiar stimulus takes longer to acquire meaning as a signal or condition than a new stimulus, is affected by hippocampal lesions. This suggests the hippocampus plays a critical role in contextual or CS (conditioned stimulus) modulation effects, such as in the case of latent inhibition in rabbit eyeblink conditioning.
