How learning reshapes neural teamwork For decades, researchers believed that learning streamlined how the brain processes information by reducing shared activity among neurons, allowing information to ...

Memories of significant learning experiences—like the first time a driver gets a speeding ticket—are sharp, compared to the recollection of everyday events—like what someone ate for dinner two weeks ...

A zebra finch can fit in the palm of your hand, but its brain is doing something that looks almost unruly. Inside one part of the adult songbird brain, newly formed neurons do not politely weave ...

Novel artificial neurons learn independently and are more strongly modeled on their biological counterparts. A team of researchers has programmed these infomorphic neurons and constructed artificial ...

Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s are often thought of as irreversible. But the brain is not static; neurons continually adjust the strength of their ...

Artificial neurons modeled on biology learn independently, self-organizing and adapting based on information from their local network environment. (Nanowerk News) Novel artificial neurons learn ...

Living neurons receive signals from different sources, process them and pass an output signal on to other neurons (left). In the artificial neuron model, this information processing can be described ...
