Researchers challenge the "efficiency" theory of the brain, showing that neurons become more coordinated and share more information as learning occurs.

New Haven, Conn. — The 2025 Gruber Neuroscience Prize will be awarded to Edward F. Chang, MD, of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), in recognition of his pioneering research ...

Neuroscience, neural computation, and artificial intelligence constitute an integrative research area that investigates the principles of information processing in nervous systems and applies them to ...

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.

Two undergraduates will be first learning to work with mice under the supervision of a postdoc in the lab, then they will lead behavioral studies that measure different learning and memory functions.

A new mathematical model sheds light on how the brain processes different cues, such as sights and sounds, during decision making. The findings from Princeton neuroscientists may one day improve how ...

In their classic 1998 textbook on cognitive neuroscience, Michael Gazzaniga, Richard Ivry, and George Mangun made a sobering observation: there was no clear mapping between how we process language and ...

Even in a city where high-stakes deals are made daily, few would expect that behind an unassuming Manhattan facade lies a team of neuroscientists developing a device that could change the relationship ...

Despite decades of research, the mechanisms behind fast flashes of insight that change how a person perceives their world, termed "one-shot learning," have remained unknown. A mysterious type of ...
