Human brains can turn a single messy experience into a lasting skill, while even the most advanced artificial intelligence still needs oceans of data and careful supervision to do something similar.

In our age of information overload, remembering things can be a daunting task. But as a memory researcher and college professor, I’ve found some hope in that challenge. In January 2021, like millions ...

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 ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons. For the first time, DZNE researchers have observed an ...

Scientists are beginning to show that learning is not exclusive to neurons and synapses. At the scale of billionths of a meter, tiny channels called nanopores are starting to display brain-like ...
