Definition of 'Avoidance Learning'A response to a cue that is instrumental in avoiding a noxious experience. Common names: Avoidance Learning; Avoidance Learnings; Learning, Avoidance; Learnings, Avoidance |
A single sensory neuron directs both attractive and repulsive odor preferences.
23 Sep 2008 
Animal behaviors are subjected to innate preferences, which are usually encoded by dedicated sensory neurons. In this issue of Neuron, Tsunozaki and colleagues show that one olfactory neuron in Caenorhabditis elegans produces two opposing ... Read more...
23 Sep 2008 Innate chemosensory preferences are often encoded by sensory neurons that are specialized for attractive or avoidance behaviors. Here, we show that one olfactory neuron in Caenorhabditis elegans, AWC(ON), has the potential to direct both attraction ... Read more...
23 Sep 2008 Neurotransmission in the brain is critically dependent on excitatory synaptic signaling mediated by AMPA-class ionotropic glutamate receptors (AMPARs). AMPARs are known to be associated with Transmembrane AMPA receptor Regulatory Proteins (TARPs). ... Read more...
