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 ...

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 ...

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 Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

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 ...

A trio of biologists, two with the University of Fribourg, in Switzerland, the third with Universitat de Barcelona, in Spain, has found that a type of Cnidaria is capable of associative learning.

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, ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Everyday behaviors, such as braking at a red light or opening an app upon seeing a notification, are shaped by associative learning, wherein the brain links sensory cues to motor ...
