    Two time scales of adaptation in human learning rates

    Jonas Simoens, Senne Braem ... Tom Verguts
    Humans adapt learning rates on both a fast and a slow time scale, and the central orbitofrontal cortex may represent the slow time scale.

    PKMζ-PKCι/λ double-knockout demonstrates atypical PKC is crucial for the persistence of hippocampal LTP and spatial memory

    Panayiotis Tsokas, Changchi Hsieh ... Todd Charlton Sacktor
    Double-knockout of PKMζ and the other atypical PKC, PKCι/λ, reveals that, without PKMζ for maintenance, PKCι/λ becomes persistently active to sustain hippocampal late-LTP and long-term memory.

    Serial dependence predicts generalization in perceptual learning

    Noga Pinchuk-Yacobi, Dov Sagi, Yoram S Bonneh
    A single temporal integration process links momentary perceptual biases to the generalization of learned skills, providing a unifying account of specificity versus flexibility in human learning.
