A giant, single-celled organism with no brain, neurons, or nervous system has demonstrated an advanced form of learning ...

Can a creature with one cell and no brain still learn from experience? A growing body of biology suggests that the answer is ...

A randomized placebo controlled experiment shows that increasing noradrenaline during learning does not improve basic memory ...

Detecting learning-dependent changes in neural networks to understand how memory is made in the prefrontal region of the brain Okazaki, Japan – Scientists have long speculated about the physical ...

Previous similar devices could only operate at cryogenic temperatures. Researchers developed a transistor that simultaneously processes and stores information like the human brain. The transistor goes ...

HRL Laboratories, LLC, researchers have determined how non-invasive transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) could increase performance of associative learning. The researchers found that when ...

The ability to make the connection between an event and its consequences -- experts use the term associative learning -- is a crucial skill for adapting to the environment. It has a huge impact on our ...
