The team pinpointed the exact moment mice learned a new skill by observing the activity of individual neurons, confirming earlier work that suggested animals are fast learners that purposely test the ...

Scientists discovered that two brain chemicals in honey bees can predict how fast they will learn, offering new insight into animal learning.

Waiting between rewards may help the brain learn faster. New research shows timing, not repetition, drives stronger learning updates.

Princeton researchers found that the brain excels at learning because it reuses modular “cognitive blocks” across many tasks. Monkeys switching between visual categorization challenges revealed that ...

Vision happens when patterns of light entering the eye are converted into reliable patterns of brain activity. This reliability allows the brain to recognize the same object each time it is seen. Our ...

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

Every time you master a new recipe, remember a phone number, or finally figure out how to fold a fitted sheet, your brain is learning. But new research shows that the brain learns in a more complex ...

Post-pandemic, many organizations have turned to some form of a hybrid approach: employees splitting their time between remote work and commuting into the office. Instead of everyone interacting ...

Artificial intelligence can already beat grandmasters at Go, draft legal briefs, and generate photorealistic images in seconds, yet it still struggles with the kind of flexible, context-rich learning ...
