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 ...

Assistant Professor of Biomolecular Engineering Tal Sharf holds up a specialized chip for recording electrical activity in brain organoids. Artificial intelligence (AI) has proven its incredible ...

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 ...

Study authors Hunter Schweiger (left) and Ash Robbins. Imagine balancing a ruler vertically in the palm of your hand: you have to constantly pay attention to the angle of the ruler and make many small ...

For more than a decade, neuroscientists had recordings from monkey brains learning to sort visual patterns. They had analyzed ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...

It is now understood that the hippocampus is closely linked to learning and memory (Doidge, 2015; Suzuki, 2015). However, this was not always the case. One prominent experiment investigating memory, ...
