A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

Brain-training games sell themselves as a way to maintain cognitive function, but the evidence isn't there yet. Eva-Katalin/E+ via Getty Images Some 2.3 million of U.S. adults over 65 – more than 4% – ...

The team pinpointed the exact moment mice learned a new skill by observing the activity of individual neurons, confirming earlier work that suggested animals are fast learners that purposely test the ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons.

Teachers are increasingly encouraged to become amateur neuroscientists. For the last decade, educational materials have promoted neuroplasticity, the brain’s capacity for adaptation, as the key to ...

Integrated structural and functional MRI identifies brain-based biomarkers that distinguish active from remissive Crohn’s ...
