Study sheds light on relationship between stimuli and delayed rewards, explaining why Pavlov's dogs learned to drool when they heard a bell. More than a century ago, Pavlov figured out that dogs fed after hearing a bell eventually began to salivate when they heard the ring. A Johns Hopkins University-led research team has now figured out a key aspect of why. In an article published in the journal Neuron, Johns Hopkins neuroscientist Alfredo Kirkwood settles a mystery of neurology that has ...
