A research team has discovered new neural circuits that regulate spatial learning and memory in the brain's hippocampal formation. The team identified novel functional roles of new circuit connections ...

Brain researchers have identified a bridge between the thalamus and the cortex as the key area that is modified during motor learning functions. They found that such learning does much more than ...

'I'm not gonna do this again', we often say when faced with negative feedback, adverse effects, or disappointing outcomes. Thus, we attempt to learn from such negative experiences. This principle is ...

The creative new approach could lead to more energy-efficient machine-learning hardware. On a table in his lab at the University of Pennsylvania, physicist Sam Dillavou has connected an array of ...

Cheng Lyu is the winner of the 2025 Eppendorf & Science Prize for Neurobiology for her work in understanding how neural circuits assemble with such remarkable precision during development. Neural ...

How do the circuits of the human brain work—and what happens when they are disrupted? To investigate these questions, researchers at the Eye Clinic of the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the ...
