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 ...

Analogies between occasion setting and Pavlovian conditioning / Ralph R. Miller and Philippe Oberling -- Conditional learning : an associative analysis / Charlotte Bonardi -- Mechanisms of ...

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 ...

Even without a central brain, jellyfish can learn from past experiences like humans, mice, and flies, scientists report for the first time on September 22 in the journal Current Biology. They trained ...

Physicists have developed a dynamical model of animal behavior that may explain some mysteries surrounding associative learning going back to Pavlov's dogs. Physicists have developed a dynamical model ...

Tiny, brainless jellyfish just did something that on the surface may seem impossible: the adorable creatures showed evidence of learning. Even with just 1,000 neurons active at a time and no central ...

Bread–butter. Bird–fly. Hot–cold. Sky–blue. These are just a few of the countless deep-seated associations we’ve all acquired in our prior experience. The basis of such associative learning is so ...
