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

Neuroscientists have carefully studied how synapses only have access to their own “local” information, yet collectively they ...

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 ...

In this important study, the authors use computational modeling to explore how rapid learning can be reconciled with the accumulation of stable memories in the olfactory bulb, where adult neurogenesis ...

Stanford scientists have created a "digital twin" of a mouse brain. Just as pilots use flight simulators to safely practice ...

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.

Scientists achieved “a milestone” by charting the activity and structure of 200,000 cells in a mouse brain and their 523 ...

A map of part of a mouse brain, which is expected to be generalisable to people, could help scientists understand behaviours, ...

Using in-vitro models of a specific type of brain cell, scientists have demonstrated that neurons can transform from one type to another. Neurons are specialized brain cells responsible for ...

Damage to the neuronal genome is induced both exogenously and endogenously. Rapid cell proliferation of neural stem cells during embryonic brain development can lead to errors in genome duplication.
