Acquisition of the ability to learn complex tasks, termed" rule learning" is mediated by
enhanced intrinsic neuronal excitability throughout the neuronal population in the relevant …

Training rats in a particularly difficult olfactory discrimination task initiates a period of
accelerated learning of other odors, manifested as a dramatic increase in the rats' capacity …

Humans demonstrate differences in performance on cognitive rule learning tasks which
could involve differences in properties of neural circuits. An example model is presented to …

Biological phenomenon. Spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) in its narrow sense refers
to the change in the synaptic strength as a result of electrically eliciting pairs of action …

Features of two potassium conductances implicated in the acquisition of conditioned
reflexes, the slow calcium dependent conductance (gK+ (Ca)) and the fast transient …

Here, we characterize a new K+ channel–kinase complex that operates in the metazoan
Caenorhabditis elegans to control learning behaviour. This channel is composed of a pore …

Operant (instrumental) and classical (Pavlovian) conditioning are taught as the simplest
forms of associative learning. Recent research in several invertebrate model systems has …

Consider the two questions:(1) What are the processing principles, learned or innate, used
by the brain to compute a given sensorimotor or cognitive function, such as visual …

Gene targeting has contributed substantially to the investigation of the neurobiological basis
of mammalian learning and memory (L&M). These experiments start with an hypothesis as …
