Research shows mice exploring environments without tasks still learn, helping their brains prepare for future challenges by encoding visual features.

MIT researchers mapped the exact sequence of neurons and brain chemicals that let tiny worms deliberately turn toward attractive odors or away from unpleasant ones.

Cultured rat neurons trained via reservoir computing and FORCE learning produce complex temporal patterns in a lab setting.

Evidence from EEG study

This lightweight tool captures electrical activity in the brain at high speeds, helping scientists study how neurons work during natural behaviors.

Researchers changed the architecture of neural networks. Without training, they showed these networks images, then compared their reactions to brain scans from humans and primates viewing the same images.

Current machine learning systems often forget previous knowledge when facing new challenges, but the human brain reuses existing neural patterns to adapt quickly and efficiently.

Research finds that human brains use logic areas for programming, with neural setups in place even before people start learning.

A study uncovers how specific neurons in mice brains construct false shapes from incomplete visuals, reshaping views on active perception.

Scientists in Japan have moved a special mating habit from one type of fruit fly to another using gene changes, showing how small tweaks can create new actions.
