Logarithmic laws of echoic memory and auditory change detection in humans
The cortical mechanisms underlying echoic memory and change detection were investigated using an auditory change-related component (N100c) of event-related brain potentials. N100c was elicited by p…

The neurobiology of spontaneous actions and operant learning in Drosophila
Learning about the consequences of our actions (operant learning) is one of the major ways in which we learn to understand the world we live in. Despite our recent advances in the neurobiology of l…

Items on the Left Are Better Remembered
We report evidence of a new phenomenon from three experiments: a leftward bias when people try to remember visually presented information. Experiments 1 and 2 showed lateral leftward biases in memo…

Subjective Experiences of Space and Time: Self, Sensation, and Phenomenal Time
The investigation of subjective experiences (SEs) of space and time is at the core of consciousness research. The term ‘space’ includes the subject and objects. The SE of subject, I-ness, is defi…

A Physiological Role for Amyloid Beta Protein: Enhancement of Learning and Memory
Amyloid beta protein (Aβ) is well recognized as having a significant role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The reason for the presence of Aβ and its physiological role in …

Dissecting the mechanisms of learning-by-doing in Drosophila
At the heart of learning-by-doing lies a well-known psychological phenomenon: information will be remembered better if it is actively generated rather than passively read or heard. First described …

Mushroom-bodies mediate hierarchical interactions between fact- and skill-learning in Drosophila
Different brain circuits mediate the acquisition of skills and habits (via operant/instrumental learning) and the acquisition of facts (via classical/Pavlovian learning). Realistic learning situati…
