Timing matters more than repetition in learning

More than a century ago, Pavlov trained his dog to associate the sound of a bell with food. Ever since, scientists assumed the dog learned this through repetition: The more times the dog heard the bell and then got fed, the better it learned that the sound meant food would soon follow.

Eating more plant-based foods may lower breast cancer risk, major international study indicates

Greater adherence to healthful plant-based dietary patterns was associated with lower breast cancer incidence and reduced all-cause mortality among women with breast cancer in large prospective cohorts. Specific micronutrients showed differential associations with cancer risk and survival, though findings remain observational and not causal.
