He is an acknowledged international authority on the neural systems underlying learning, memory and motivation especially in relation to drug addiction.

The patterns of connections among the isolated cells may be a working model of the kind of neural networks that are thought to underlie learning and memory.

LTP is one of the major cellular mechanisms that are widely considered to underlie learning and memory.

N-cadherins are believed to be involved in mediating LTP and the synaptic changes underlying learning and memory.

Many of the same structures and chemical processes that seem to underlie learning and memory in the brain are present in the lower nervous system as well, scientists point out.

This hypothesis that synaptic plasticity is an important part of the neural mechanisms underlying learning and memory is now widely accepted.

In ways that are not completely understood, calcium induces changes that seem to underlie learning and memory in individual neurons.

There have been findings that support a role of subvocalization in the mechanisms underlying working memory and the holding of information in an accessible and malleable state.

This raises the question of the nature of the physical structures that underlie memory and personality.

Though Pavlov's physiology has been abandoned, classical conditioning is extensively used in modern studies of the neural structures and functions that underlie learning and memory.
