Learning and memory are two of the most magical capabilities of our mind. Learning is the
biological process of acquiring new knowledge about the world, and memory is the process …

▪ Abstract Correlated spiking of pre-and postsynaptic neurons can result in strengthening or
weakening of synapses, depending on the temporal order of spiking. Recent findings …

A new theory about the origins of consciousness that finds learning to be the driving force in
the evolutionary transition to basic consciousness. What marked the evolutionary transition …

By changing the conditioned discrimination paradigm of Quinn et al.(1974) from an
instrumental procedure to a classical (Pavlovian) one, we have demonstrated strong …

Study of the neurobiology of learning and memory is in a most exciting phase. Behavioral
studies in animals are characterizing the categories and properties of learning and memory; …

Insects are favorable subjects for neuroethological studies. Their nervous systems are
relatively small and contain many individually identifiable cells. The CNS is highly …

We have isolated and mapped an X-linked recessive mutation in Drosophila that blocks
associative leaming, and have partially characterized it biochemically. The mutation affects …

Biological neural networks are systems of extraordinary computational capabilities shaped
by evolution, development, and lifelong learning. The interplay of these elements leads to …

In 1894, Ramón y Cajal first proposed that memory is stored as an anatomical change in the
strength of neuronal connections. For the following 60 years, little evidence was recruited in …

Time-dependent, learning-related changes in hippocampal excitability were evaluated by
recording from rabbit CA1 pyramidal neurons in slices prepared at various times after …
