A research team from the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Lanzhou University has obtained ...

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

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine, led by Bindu Paul, an associate professor of pharmacology, psychiatry and neuroscience ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

Facts and ideas can be mapped in ways that show how they relate to each other. The map drawing usually begins with outlined notes, because few people can think fast enough to construct a map in ...

Simple pharmaceutical interventions could help older brains cope with memory impairment and recovery after surgery, new ...
