We found that new neurons in the adult brain are linked to reduced cognitive decline—particularly in verbal learning, or learning by listening to others. Researchers know that new neurons contribute ...
Age can make memory feel like something that only moves in one direction. A name slips away. A route you know well turns fuzzy. In Alzheimer’s disease, that slide can look even steeper. Yet the brain ...
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 ...
A zebra finch can fit in the palm of your hand, but its brain is doing something that looks almost unruly. Inside one part of the adult songbird brain, newly formed neurons do not politely weave ...

Scientists just revived failing neurons in dementia-like mice by recharging their mitochondria — and the animals’ lost memories came back
A mouse that has forgotten how to navigate a maze it once knew is, in neuroscience terms, a model of what dementia does to a ...
Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the brain is not static; neurons continually adjust the strength of their ...
Tracking neurons as learning unfolds The researchers tracked the activity of the same small networks of neurons in the visual cortex over several weeks as subjects learned to tell apart different ...
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 ...
An international collaboration between researchers at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) in Japan, the University of Tokyo, and University College London has demonstrated that self-organization ...
