The barrel cortex, a specialised region within the rodent somatosensory cortex, plays a central role in the processing of tactile information derived from the whiskers. Recent studies have elucidated ...

Previous similar devices could only operate at cryogenic temperatures. Researchers developed a transistor that simultaneously processes and stores information like the human brain. The transistor goes ...

Recent research has shown that non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in particular, can modulate core memory ...

Detecting learning-dependent changes in neural networks to understand how memory is made in the prefrontal region of the brain Okazaki, Japan – Scientists have long speculated about the physical ...

Researchers discovered that an 80% drop in dopamine causes Alzheimer's memory loss. Restoring dopamine with Levodopa rescued ...

The ability to make the connection between an event and its consequences -- experts use the term associative learning -- is a crucial skill for adapting to the environment. It has a huge impact on our ...

Researchers at Google have developed a new AI paradigm aimed at solving one of the biggest limitations in today’s large language models: their inability to learn or update their knowledge after ...

The brain has an irrepressible ability to make associations. This is well illustrated by one of my favorite illusions, the McGurk Effect, which demonstrates that what we “hear” is strongly influenced ...
