| Odor recognition learning in free-living salmon |
| Canadian researchers have for the first time successfully conditioned free-living juvenile salmon to recognize a novel odor. The work was published in the Journal "Animal Behaviour". This fantastic feat was accomplished ...[more] |

| Insect learning: trace conditioning and spike timing-dependent plasticity |
 The most well-known molecular mechanism of learning involves coincidence detection. In post-synaptic LTP, the NMDA receptor only opens fully if a postsynaptic depolarization has removed the magnesium block by the time g...[more] |

| Insect neurobiology symposium in Munich, session 6 |
| After a brief lunch break, we went on to the next session. Lisa Bogusch from our department in Berlin started out by telling us how sleep is required for proper long-range navigation of honeybees. She uses RFID technolog...[more] |

| Insect neurobiology symposium in Munich, session 8 |
| Bernd Grünewald had the thankless task of being th first to present on the Sunday monring. He talked about channel physiology in the olfactory learning pathway of the honeybe. Bernd performs classical, pharmacology-based...[more] |

| Operant and classical learning can be differentiated at the genetic level |
 It always feels good to report that one of one's own papers has been accepted for publication. This one has been in the works for a very long time and I'm especially happy that it's now finally coming out. The paper is e...[more] |

| Sea slug genetics reveal learning machinery |
| The sea slug Aplysia has been a popular model for learning and memory for almost 40 years now. It can perform simple learning tasks and its brain cells (neurons) are so large, they are very easy to experiment on. With th...[more] |

| Molecular systems underlying learning and memory |
| The first session of the Janelia Farm Conference “Learning and Memory: A Synthesis of Flies and Honeybees” was all about the molecular processes supporting learning and memory. In fact, it wasmy impression that more and...[more] |

| Flies are just humans after all |
| I just came across a PLoS Biology article by John Krakauer et al. in which the authors describe the transfer of motor learning across different ccontexts. I'm not done reading the article, but it looks like they trained ...[more] |
