Learning is something everyone does daily—mastering new skills at work, remembering song lyrics, or following directions to ...

Findings challenge the idea that neurons follow a single learning strategy and offer a new perspective on how the brain ...

New research reveals that individual neurons follow multiple learning rules simultaneously, challenging the long-held belief that synaptic plasticity operates uniformly throughout the brain.

Connections made via apical synapses seemed to be strengthened by movement information more than those made via basal ...

As you experience or encounter new things, your brain must encode this information via the right neural networks at the right ...

How do we learn something new? How do tasks at a new job, lyrics to the latest hit song or directions to a friend's house become encoded in our brains? The broad answer is that our brains undergo ...

A team of over 150 scientists has achieved what once seemed impossible: a complete wiring and activity map of a tiny section ...

NUS researchers have shown that a single transistor can replicate both neural and synaptic behaviors, marking a significant ...

The brain really is an incredible organ, and neurons are the vital link between, well, everything. The brain is anything but set in stone; how we think, feel, reason, and understand the world changes ...

Using advanced microscopes that capture brain cell anatomy and activity, a portion of a mouse's brain was mapped and rendered ...

Researchers examined a fragment of the mouse's brain, approximately the size of a poppy seed, pinpointing neurons and tracing ...

Scientists have created the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date, mapping every cell and synapse in a cubic millimeter of a mouse’s visual cortex.
