How do we learn something new? How do tasks at a new job, lyrics to the latest hit song or directions to a friend’s house become encoded in our brains? The broad answer is that our brains undergo ...

How do we learn new things? Neurobiologists using cutting-edge visualization techniques have revealed how changes across our synapses and neurons unfold. The findings depict how information is ...

Brain researchers have identified a bridge between the thalamus and the cortex as the key area that is modified during motor learning functions. They found that such learning does much more than ...

When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide—cell by cell—what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that ...

Neuronal activity traces reveal how brain circuits evolve as mice learn a motor task. Left: example field of view recorded during behavior; each color marks a different neuron. Right: activity traces ...

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 ...

To understand why, the team looked at the MRI scans.

-- How We Learn The exciting advancements in artificial intelligence of the last twenty years reveal just as much about our remarkable abilities as they do about the potential of machines. How We ...
