How we learn to predict an outcome isn’t determined by how many times a cue and reward happen together. Instead, how much ...

A new study, recently published in the journal Nature Communications, is leading to a new understanding of how immune cells ...

For most young children, the sight and voice of a parent serve as a primary source of comfort and safety. A new study ...

Age-related changes in protein tagging and degradation may help explain how the brain declines over time and why diet can still influence these processes.

To consolidate memories, our brains replay them during periods of rest as a kind of 'replay mode'. A new mouse study suggests ...

The moment a person steps off the street and into a restaurant - to take just one example - the brain mentally starts a new "chapter" of the day, a change that causes a big shift in brain activity.

The process of brain cell fusion has been recently implicated in the progression of central nervous system (CNS) viral diseases. This novel biological understanding has opened up a new field of ...

CINCINNATI (WKRC) - Ever wondered how your brain stacks up against a computer? A recent study revealed just how many bits of data the human brain can process per second. A new study from the ...

A major international study shows that increasing a naturally occurring molecule can help restore memory in animal models of ...

The human brain, often hailed as nature’s most powerful computer, is surprisingly slow when it comes to handling information. While our senses gather a mountain of data every second, our actual ...

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...
