Composition and decomposition in bimanual dynamic learning.

13 Oct 2008 Our ability to skillfully manipulate an object often involves the motor system learning to compensate for the dynamics of the object. When the two arms learn to manipulate a single object they can act cooperatively, whereas when they manipulate ... Read more...

Dopaminergic suppression of brain deactivation responses during sequence learning.

13 Oct 2008 Cognitive processing is associated with deactivation of the default mode network. The presence of dopaminoceptive neurons in proximity to the medial prefrontal node of this network suggests that this neurotransmitter may modulate deactivation in ... Read more...

An animal model of a behavioral intervention for depression.

7 Oct 2008 Although conditioned inhibition of fear (or learned safety) is a learning process critical for preventing chronic stress, a predisposing factor for depression and other psychopathologies, little is known about its functional purposes or molecular ... Read more...
