Researchers use biocompatible polydopamine nanoparticles and near-infrared light to remotely trigger activity in neuron and ...

Over time, we get better at learning and adapting to change, because the more we experience it, the more our brain is primed ...

An NIH-funded project leverages advanced synapse imaging to monitor real-time neuronal changes during learning, unveiling new ...

Learning is something everyone does daily—mastering new skills at work, remembering song lyrics, or following directions to ...

The brain learns due to neurons using multiple mechanisms to store knowledge according to a new study by researchers.

Learning triggers changes across trillions of synapses, where neurons communicate with each other. This process, known as ...

Findings challenge the idea that neurons follow a single learning strategy and offer a new perspective on how the brain learns and adapts behavior.

New research reveals that individual neurons follow multiple learning rules simultaneously, challenging the long-held belief that synaptic plasticity operates uniformly throughout the brain.

Neuroscientists have carefully studied how synapses only have access to their own “local” information, yet collectively they ...

Every day, people are constantly learning and forming new memories. When you pick up a new hobby, try a recipe a friend ...

Connections made via apical synapses seemed to be strengthened by movement information more than those made via basal ...

Shedding light on how the brain fine-tunes its wiring during learning, a new study finds that different dendritic segments of a single neuron follow ...
