Neurons that specifically reduce and modulate electrical brain activity have a greater influence on emotional memories than ...

Past psychology and behavioral science studies have identified various ways in which people's acquisition of new knowledge ...

Novel artificial neurons learn independently and are more strongly modeled on their biological counterparts. A team of researchers from the Göttingen Campus Institute for Dynamics of Biological ...

Researchers have demonstrated that self-organization of neurons as they 'learn' follows a mathematical theory called the free energy principle. The principle accurately predicted how real neural ...

New research reveals that neurons release a little-understood extracellular kinase called VLK to strengthen synaptic ...

His studies suggest that neurogenesis does not play a role in spatial learning, but instead strongly affected contextual fear conditioning (a learned fear response to a place).
