Abstract: Visual attention is an information-gathering mechanism that supports the emergence of complex perceptual and cognitive capacities. Yet, little is known about how the infant brain learns to direct attention to information that is most relevant… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2016.03.040
Abstract: Cognitive flexibility has traditionally been considered a frontal lobe function. However, converging evidence suggests involvement of a larger brain circuit which includes the cerebellum. Reciprocal pathways connecting the cerebellum to the prefrontal cortex provide a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2018.04.023
Abstract: Following training in a difficult olfactory-discrimination (OD) task rats acquire the capability to perform the task easily, with little effort. This new acquired skill, of 'learning how to learn' is termed 'rule learning'. At the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/desc.13244
Abstract: Abstract We conducted a close replication of the seminal work by Marcus and colleagues from 1999, which showed that after a brief auditory exposure phase, 7‐month‐old infants were able to learn and generalize a rule… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fncel.2022.934838
Abstract: Training rats in a particularly difficult olfactory discrimination task initiates a period of accelerated learning, manifested as a dramatic increase in the rats' capacity to discriminate between pairs of odors once they have learned the… read more here.
