Researchers have demonstrated that self-organization of neurons as they 'learn' follows a mathematical theory called the free energy principle. The principle accurately predicted how real neural ...

Novel artificial neurons learn independently and are more strongly modeled on their biological counterparts. A team of researchers from the Göttingen Campus Institute for Dynamics of Biological ...

His studies suggest that neurogenesis does not play a role in spatial learning, but instead strongly affected contextual fear conditioning (a learned fear response to a place).

Knight Initiative researchers are investigating the detailed processes behind how the brain learns to control movement. Their ...

Some long-accepted truths about the brain have a way of eventually being proven false. For instance, contrary to earlier beliefs, neurogenesis (the growth of new neurons) does occur in adult brains as ...
