Learning is hard. Forgetting even harder. How do you get rid of what you have learned? The Collaborative Research Center 1280 is dedicated to this question.
Contrary to popular opinion, stress can have a positive effect on learning. What is crucial is the time at which we experience it.
The birds are an integral part of research. They provide many insights into how learning and memory work.
Computer models of neural networks developed by humans can be arbitrarily far removed from reality. Nevertheless, they are a great help to researchers in planning and evaluating learning experiments.
Letting go of learned fears is difficult. New research findings reveal that the environment in which we learn the fear could also play a crucial role in unlearning it.
Pain is learned faster and in a more lasting way than other things. Although that makes sense from an evolutionary perspective, for people with chronic pain, it’s a problem.
Immune responses can affect our mood and interfere with learning. Conversely, learning processes can influence immune responses.
The cerebellum has been underestimated for a long time. However, the results of two research groups in the Collaborative Research Center show that it plays a crucial role in regulating emotions.
There are more than 100 million neurons in our gut. That is why it is also known as the second brain. Researchers from Bochum are uncovering the role of the brain-gut connection in learning and unlearning pain.
At the Collaborative Research Centre “Extinction Learning”, researchers are offered support with storing, sharing, archiving and publishing their data.
