A research team led by Prof. Jiang Ni from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) proposed a cost-effective method for in-field acquisition ...

The ability to make the connection between an event and its consequences—experts use the term associative learning—is a crucial skill for adapting to the environment. It has a huge impact on our ...

Associative learning was always thought to be regulated by the cortex of the cerebellum, often referred to as the "little brain." However, new research from a collaboration between the Netherlands ...

The cerebellum facilitates associative learning—wherein visual information is linked to motor actions—by strengthening sustained visual responses. Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have ...

"Green" means "go," but what does "red" mean? Just about everybody says "stop" since we all have learned to imbue certain colors with meaning (or we would be road kill by now). Long thought to be ...

Researchers report that associative learning impairments caused by obesity can be restored with liraglutide, an anti-obesity medication. After just one dose, researchers said study participants with ...

Our brains are filled with lots of specialized structures that do things like process visual information, handle memories, or interpret language. One of the ways we try to understand what a brain is ...

Obesity leads to altered energy metabolism and reduced insulin sensitivity of cells. The so-called 'anti-obesity drugs' are increasingly used to treat obesity and have caused tremendous interest, ...
