By revealing for the first time what happens in the brain when an animal makes a mistake, researchers are shedding light on the holy grail of neuroscience: the mechanics of how we learn. The team ...

Myelin, the protective sheath around nerve fibers, plays a crucial role in brain communication. It ensures fast and efficient transmission of electrical signals. When damaged, this insulation breaks ...

"The brain continuously receives and integrates sensory inputs, and neurons do not act in isolation—they are part of complex, recurrent networks. One particularly intriguing feature of these ...

This revelation challenges the long-held view of classical sculpture as merely a visual art form, introducing a multi-sensory dimension to our understanding of antiquity. Diadoumenos, statue of Delos.

when the context changed. For example, neurons responded very differently if a rat found an object in one location versus another. As a result, it was believed that such memories were stored in ...
