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, ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Kiel, and at the University of Copenhagen have demonstrated that Caribbean box jellyfish (Tripedalia cystophora) can learn at a much more complex level than previously ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
