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 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 ...

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 ...

A single injection of the GLP-1 receptor agonist liraglutide led to short-term normalization of associative learning in people with obesity and insulin resistance, a finding that suggests ...

Previous similar devices could only operate at cryogenic temperatures. Researchers developed a transistor that simultaneously processes and stores information like the human brain. The transistor goes ...

Detecting learning-dependent changes in neural networks to understand how memory is made in the prefrontal region of the brain Okazaki, Japan – Scientists have long speculated about the physical ...

Researchers at the University of Kiel, and at the University of Copenhagen have demonstrated that Caribbean box jellyfish (Tripedalia cystophora) can learn at a much more complex level than previously ...

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, ...
