How does the brain learn from mistakes? A new Duke study reveals a hidden circuit that helps control the learning process.

Researchers at Leipzig University have gained important insights into learning mechanisms in the brain of the fruit fly ...

Scientists have known for more than a century that a single-celled organism with no nerve cells—much less a brain—can behave ...

Brain study reveals memories stick when learning triggers a brief “energy emergency” in glucose-sensing neurons.

These four hands-on activities guide students to explore how their attention and memory function and how that impacts ...

Brain health isn't determined only by genetics or what happens later in life. A growing body of research shows that a range ...

Clinicians use electroencephalography (EEG) to assess brain activity in epilepsy and sleep pathologies, and this powerful ...

Recent advances in large-scale AI models, including large language and vision-language-action models, have significantly expanded the capabilities of ...

We tend to think of learning as something that happens in the mind, a mental exercise of reading, practicing, and remembering. But the truth is far more visceral. Every time you learn something new, ...

Most contemporary artificial intelligence (AI) systems learn to complete tasks via machine learning and deep learning. Machine learning is a computational approach that allows models to uncover ...

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, ...
