MIT researchers tested the “Spatial Computing” theory and found that brain waves organize neurons into flexible, ...

Our thoughts are specified by our knowledge and plans, yet our cognition can also be fast and flexible in handling new information.

Spatial reasoning remains a fundamental challenge for Vision-Language Models (VLMs), with current approaches struggling to achieve robust performance despite recent advances. We identify that this ...

When children assemble puzzles, build block towers, or follow instructions for folding three-dimensional origami figures, they’re using spatial skills—the ability to visualize, manipulate, and make ...

Summary: A new study reveals that natural hormone fluctuations during the estrous cycle dramatically alter neuron structure and activity in the mouse hippocampus, a brain region key to learning and ...

Researchers found that a brief episode of anxiety may have a bigger influence on a person's ability to learn what is safe and what is not. A new study used a virtual reality game that involved picking ...

A brief episode of anxiety may have a bigger influence on a person's ability to learn what is safe and what is not. The research recently published in NPJ Science of Learning used a virtual reality ...

This work provides a valuable contribution to our understanding of the neurobiological mechanisms underlying spatial memory and learning, suggesting that dopamine plays a pivotal role in linking ...

This figure shows how the STAIG framework can successfully identify spatial domains by integrating image processing and contrastive learning to analyze spatial transcriptomics data effectively.
