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

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 ...

Humans possess a remarkable balance between stability and flexibility, enabling them to quickly establish new plans and ...

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 ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain’s neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons. For the first time, DZNE researchers have observed an ...

When we find learning hard, especially in subjects like maths, we often focus on the environment. Maybe individuals did not have good teachers, or perhaps they were not motivated. But research is now ...

Education in the brain sciences has evolved significantly, moving beyond conventional single-discipline structures to ...

Using computational models, the researchers studied how the brain's reward-learning system functions in those with depression, especially among individuals experiencing anhedonia, the inability to ...

New research shows that your brain’s “true age” can shift dramatically depending on how you live, with optimism, restorative ...
