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 ...

Dopaminergic signaling in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) is central to reward-based learning, but its relationship to brain-wide ...

The cerebellum, a region at the back of the brain under the cerebral cortex, has been found to support movement and muscle control, as well as memory, learning and other mental functions. Some ...

The relationship between Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and associative learning is being actively researched in recent psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and behavior analysis as an important ...

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.

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 ...

Every budding psychologist has a moment in which they stumble across an area of research that inspires an overwhelming sense of possibility. For me, that moment occurred when I was introduced to ...

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 ...
