A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

Brain-training games sell themselves as a way to maintain cognitive function, but the evidence isn't there yet. Eva-Katalin/E+ via Getty Images Some 2.3 million of U.S. adults over 65 – more than 4% – ...

The team pinpointed the exact moment mice learned a new skill by observing the activity of individual neurons, confirming earlier work that suggested animals are fast learners that purposely test the ...

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 ...

Teachers are increasingly encouraged to become amateur neuroscientists. For the last decade, educational materials have promoted neuroplasticity, the brain’s capacity for adaptation, as the key to ...

Assistant Professor of Biomolecular Engineering Tal Sharf holds up a specialized chip for recording electrical activity in brain organoids. Artificial intelligence (AI) has proven its incredible ...

“Brain-based learning” is everywhere. From TED Talks to professional development workshops, educators are told that neuroscience holds the key to unlocking student potential. We hear about prefrontal ...
