Inhibitory Learning during Exposure Treatment in Anorexia Nervosa: A Practical Guide [PDF]
Exposure therapy is known to be an effective intervention in the treatment of anxiety-related disorders. In eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, anxiety and avoidance are identified as maintenance factors.

Inhibitory Learning with Bidirectional Outcomes: Prevention Learning or Causal Learning in the Opposite Direction? [PDF]
Influential models of causal learning assume that learning about generative and preventive relationships are symmetrical to each other. That is, a preventive cue directly prevents an outcome from occurring (i.e., “direct” prevention) in the same way a ...

Learning reorganizes dendritic and stabilizes axon initial segment inhibitory synapses in CA1 pyramidal neurons [PDF]
Structural synaptic plasticity underlies the changes in brain connectivity required for learning and memory. Inhibitory synapses target all subcellular domains of excitatory pyramidal neurons, including dendrites, somata and axon initial segments.

Stability and learning in excitatory synapses by nonlinear inhibitory plasticity.
Synaptic changes are hypothesized to underlie learning and memory formation in the brain. But Hebbian synaptic plasticity of excitatory synapses on its own is unstable, leading to either unlimited growth of synaptic strengths or silencing of neuronal ...

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is characterized by recurrent, persistent thoughts and repetitive behaviors causing stress and anxiety. In the associative learning model of OCD, mechanisms of fear extinction are supposed to partly underlie symptom ...

The Role of Expectancy Violation in Extinction Learning: A Two-Day Online Fear Conditioning Study
[Background] Exposure therapy is at the core of the treatment of pathological anxiety. While the inhibitory learning model proposes a framework for the mechanisms underlying exposure therapy, in particular expectancy violation, causal evidence for its ...

Early Sensory Deprivation Leads to Differential Inhibitory Changes in the Striatum During Learning
The corticostriatal circuit has been identified as a vital pathway for associative learning. However, how learning is implemented when the sensory striatum is permanently impaired remains unclear.
