Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By ...

Listening to music immediately after learning new information may help improve memory retention in older adults and ...

A new ‘biomimetic’ model of brain circuits and function at multiple scales produced naturalistic dynamics and learning, and ...

Regular physical activity reduces inflammation, lowers stress, improves sleep, and supports hormonal balance, all of which are essential for a healthy brain. You don’t need extreme workouts or ...

Research undertaken over the last century has revealed that sleep plays a role in the mechanisms directing normal cognitive and developmental processes, including the consolidation of memories. This ...

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, ...

Long-term success is based on leveraging and maximizing things you can control. Like effort. Perseverance. Surprisingly (at least to some), being nice. But most important, leveraging and maximizing ...

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 ...

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

We’ve celebrated an extraordinary breakthrough while largely postponing the harder question of whether the architecture we’re scaling can sustain the use cases promised.
