Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on learning and memory, with a focus on Pavlovian conditioning and its role in adaptive behavior. It also investigates episodic memory, including its neural underpinnings and the influence of emotions and personal relevance. Studies explore age-related cognitive changes, the effects of exercise on neurotrophic factors and cognition, and the impact of genetic factors and pharmacological agents on cognitive flexibility and memory processes. The journal examines the neural mechanisms of reward processing, associative learning, and memory reconsolidation.
