What can a honey bee tell us about human learning? According to researchers at Virginia Tech and Arizona State University, more than you might think. Their findings, published in Science Advances on ...

A Dartmouth study challenges the conventional view that the amygdala—the two-sided structure deep in the brain involved in ...

Researchers find that the amygdala is a sophisticated mediator that chooses between action-based and stimulus-based learning ...

Waiting between rewards may help the brain learn faster. New research shows timing, not repetition, drives stronger learning updates.

In other words, get ready to grab your binoculars, says a group of brain researchers in Canada.

Post-pandemic, many organizations have turned to some form of a hybrid approach: employees splitting their time between remote work and commuting into the office. Instead of everyone interacting ...

No body, no dopamine, no problem. Scientists have successfully coached lab-grown brain tissue to solve a classic robotics challenge, proving that the will to learn is hardwired into our neurons.

How we learn to predict an outcome isn’t determined by how many times a cue and reward happen together. Instead, how much ...

The human brain is one of the most complex structures in nature, but the brain's origins stretch back hundreds of millions of years. A new study using AI deep-learning models has revealed more about ...

It is now understood that the hippocampus is closely linked to learning and memory (Doidge, 2015; Suzuki, 2015). However, this was not always the case. One prominent experiment investigating memory, ...

When babies are born, their brains contain billions of neurons. But how those neurons interact — and what they can do as babies grow through childhood into adulthood — is largely shaped by their ...
