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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Some long-accepted truths about the brain have a way of eventually being proven false. For instance, contrary to earlier beliefs, neurogenesis (the growth of new neurons) does occur in adult brains as ...

Understanding the biological basis of consciousness or subjective experience is one of the most exciting and challenging projects of this century. For many reasons, an evolutionary approach to this ...

A group used a nematode model to discover that the weakening of the learning ability of older individuals does not occur when their diet includes the bacteria Lactobacillus reuteri. Since such ...

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, ...
