How does the brain learn? Does it acquire new knowledge by creating new neural pathways or by strengthening existing connections? A new study from Bar-Ilan University offers evidence in favor of the ...
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara are coming ever closer to uncovering the neural circuitry that translates stimulus to action, shining light on previously unseen neural connections and lesser-known ...
A recent study published in the journal Nature reveals how a specific stress hormone helps the brain lock in its neural connections during early development. The research provides evidence that ...
The approach could expand understanding not only of the layout of elaborate networks in the brain, but also how the brain functions, what happens when there is dysfunction and how neurodegenerative ...

Curiosity has its own neural signal: Brain separates valuable information from water rewards in mice
Often, humans and other animals seek information that can help them complete tasks and attain desired rewards. In some cases, ...
It's a fact of life that the electrical activity of neurons will vary during the same task, even when the ultimate outcome is the same. A new study shows that a lot of ongoing fluctuations in the ...
