Originally a genetic model organism, the experimental use of Drosophila melanogaster has
grown to include quantitative behavioral analyses, sophisticated perturbations of neuronal …

Associating multiple sensory cues with objects and experience is a fundamental brain
process that improves object recognition and memory performance. However, neural …

Animal brains need to store information to construct a representation of their environment.
Knowledge of what happened in the past allows both vertebrates and invertebrates to …

The development of brain-like artificial intelligence is based on the cognitive functions of the
brain, which are influenced by the cross-modal interactions of learning and memory …

The brain constantly compares past and present experiences to predict the future, thereby
enabling instantaneous and future behavioral adjustments. Integration of external …

Memory has been extensively studied in Drosophila since the early 1970s. Straightforward
aversive and appetitive conditioning paradigms train populations of flies to associate the …

Olfactory classical conditioning paradigms have been extensively used since the early
1970s to apply genetic approaches to the study of memory in Drosophila. Over the …

How animals form and retain memories across multiple sensory modalities and how
multisensory learning can enhance memory is largely unknown. A recent study sheds light …

Visual learning in animals is a remarkable cognitive ability that plays a crucial role in their
survival and adaptation. Therefore, the ability to learn is highly conserved among animals …

1.1 Definition and history of learning experiments How do we define when an individual has
learned something? In science, there exists a common definition of learning. While the exact …
