The brain may reuse some cells to store many different memories without mixing them up with or erasing older memories, a new study in mice suggests. Led by NYU Langone Health researchers, the study ...

Freely behaving organisms need to rapidly calibrate their perceptual, cognitive, and motor decisions based on continuously changing environmental conditions. These plastic changes include sharpening ...

Neocortical parvalbumin-expressing (PV) neurons critically regulate circuit excitation by strong synaptic inputs onto local pyramidal (Pyr) neurons. Plasticity in PV-mediated inhibition during ...

What gives rise to human consciousness? Are some parts of the brain more important than others? Scientists began tackling these questions in more depth about 35 years ago. Researchers have made ...

The neocortex constructs an internal representation of the world, but the underlying circuitry and computational principles remain unclear. Inspired by self-supervised learning algorithms, we propose ...

In 1999, psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger published a groundbreaking study that revealed a striking cognitive bias: individuals with low ability in a specific domain tend to overestimate ...

Kurzweil argues that human intelligence is fundamentally about recognizing patterns, and the neocortex excels at this by constantly predicting, adapting, and learning. Whether we’re solving complex ...

It has been known for nearly 20 years that slow, synchronous electrical waves in the brain during deep sleep support the formation of memories. Why that is, was previously unknown. How do permanent ...

In the dynamic landscape of learning in the digital age, K-12 educators are increasingly leveraging technology tools to enhance teaching and learning experiences. These tools, ranging from interactive ...

As education becomes more an experience of learning in the digital age, technologies play a pivotal role in reshaping the learning experiences of K-12 students. From interactive applications to ...

Everyone has a different style of learning. Some people do well with reading the written word. Others learn better through audio. For some, sitting in a quiet library or home office space is key. For ...
