Obesity leads to altered energy metabolism and reduced insulin sensitivity of cells. The so-called 'anti-obesity drugs' are increasingly used to treat obesity and have caused tremendous interest, ...

The cerebellum facilitates associative learning—wherein visual information is linked to motor actions—by strengthening ...

Associative learning was always thought to be regulated by the cortex of the cerebellum, often referred to as the "little brain". However, new research from a collaboration between the Netherlands ...

Why does stopping at a red light become automatic? New neuroscience shows how the cerebellum turns visual cues into fast, ...

Brain development does not occur uniformly across the brain, but follows a newly identified developmental sequence, according to a new Penn Medicine study. Brain regions that support cognitive, social ...

Calcium alpha-ketoglutarate, a naturally occurring metabolite, can restore key memory-related brain functions that have been disrupted in Alzheimer’s disease.

Researchers report that associative learning impairments caused by obesity can be restored with liraglutide, an anti-obesity medication. After just one dose, researchers said study participants with ...
