Aversive Associative Learning and Memory Formation by Pairing Two Chemicals in Caenorhabditis elegans

Abstract:
This review considers data obtained during the entire research period of state-dependent learning. Understanding of this phenomenon has significantly evolved during the past decades, as a result of the increasing amount of facts revealed while studying state-dependent learning. Consequently, a situation has arisen where different papers may describe same phenomena using different terms. This does not promote understanding of the described phenomena. Therefore a need for a paper emerged, that would analyze the evolution of state-dependent learning and would offer terminology corresponding to all the data collected on the subject.

For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
