Whole-brain mapping of long-range inputs to the VIP-expressing inhibitory neurons in the primary motor cortex

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2023
The primary motor cortex (MOp) is an important site for motor skill learning. Interestingly, neurons in MOp possess reward-related activity, presumably to facilitate reward-based motor learning.

Event Timing in Associative Learning [PDF]

, 2012
Associative learning relies on event timing. Fruit flies for example, once trained with an odour that precedes electric shock, subsequently avoid this odour (punishment learning); if, on the other hand the odour follows the shock during training, it is ...

Effects of home language environment on inhibitory control in bilingual three-year-old children [PDF]

, 2017
Previous studies have shown effects of bilingualism on inhibitory control in preschool children. However, these effects only held for ‘conflict tasks’, and not delay of gratification tasks, and other domains of executive functioning were not investigated.

Irrelevance by inhibition: Learning, computation, and implications for schizophrenia. [PDF]

PLoS Computational Biology, 2018
Symptoms of schizophrenia may arise from a failure of cortical circuits to filter-out irrelevant inputs. Schizophrenia has also been linked to disruptions in cortical inhibitory interneurons, consistent with the possibility that in the normally ...

A computational study on altered theta-gamma coupling during learning and phase coding [PDF]

, 2012
There is considerable interest in the role of coupling between theta and gamma oscillations in the brain in the context of learning and memory. Here we have used a neural network model which is capable of producing coupling of theta phase to gamma ...

What associative learning in insects tells us about the evolution of learning and fixed behavior [PDF]

, 2015
Contemporary models for the evolution of learning suggest that environmental predictability plays a critical role in whether learning is expected to evolve in a particular species, a claim originally made over 50 years ago.

The Inhibitory Mechanism in Learning Ambiguous Words in a Second Language

Frontiers in Psychology, 2017
Ambiguous words are hard to learn, yet little is known about what causes this difficulty. The current study aimed to investigate the relationship between the representations of new and prior meanings of ambiguous words in second language (L2) learning ...

Conditioned inhibition, inhibitory learning, response inhibition, and inhibitory control: Outlining a conceptual clarification

, 2023
Inhibition can be defined as a phenomenon in which an agent prevents or suppresses a behavioral state that would otherwise occur. Associative learning studies have extensively examined how experiences shape the acquisition of inhibitory behavioral ...

Inhibitory properties of a latent inhibitor after its compound preexposure with several novel stimuli: evidence from human conditioning

Frontiers in Psychology
Latent inhibition refers to the retardation in learning an association between a target stimulus and an outcome when the target stimulus has been pre-exposed in the absence of consequences.

Can Working Memory and Inhibitory Control Predict Second Language Learning in the Classroom?

SAGE Open, 2015
The role of executive functioning in second language (L2) aptitude remains unclear. Whereas some studies report a relationship between working memory (WM) and L2 learning, others have argued against this association. Similarly, being bilingual appears to
