Scientists have developed a geometric deep learning method that can create a coherent picture of neuronal population activity during cognitive and motor tasks across experimental subjects and ...

Scientists are beginning to show that learning is not exclusive to neurons and synapses. At the scale of billionths of a meter, tiny channels called nanopores are starting to display brain-like ...

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, ...

Information pervades the universe, yet means nothing. Meaning emerged when matter organized into systems that could ...

Genetics, audio processing and environment can all impact how our brains connect sounds to the symbols we use to read ...

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 ...

Human brains can turn a single messy experience into a lasting skill, while even the most advanced artificial intelligence still needs oceans of data and careful supervision to do something similar.
