The ability to link new pieces of information together and the capacity to solve entirely new problems reinforce each other ...

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 ...

Can a creature with one cell and no brain still learn from experience? A growing body of biology suggests that the answer is ...

Listen to the first notes of an old, beloved song. Can you name that tune? If you can, congratulations — it’s a triumph of your associative memory, in which one piece of information (the first few ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

HRL Laboratories, LLC, researchers have determined how non-invasive transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) could increase performance of associative learning. The researchers found that when ...

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 ...
