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 ...

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 ...

Primates have the remarkable ability to rapidly adjust or modify associations between visual cues and specific motor responses. Whereas little is known as to how such adjustments in behavioral policy ...

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 ...

To control our behavior, the brain must be able to form associations. This involves, for example, associating a neutral external stimulus with a consequence following the stimulus (e.g., the hotplate ...

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, ...
