When animals and humans explore their surrounding environment or complete specific tasks, their brains simultaneously support both their mental (i.e., cognitive) processes and physical movements. For ...

Neuronal sequences in the medial prefrontal cortex of the brain encode critical information associated with a procedural rule. These sequences can be explored and leveraged as novel biomarkers for ...

UCLA researchers have made a significant discovery showing that biological brains and artificial intelligence systems develop remarkably similar neural patterns during social interaction. This ...

A new study sheds new light on these big questions, illuminating a general principle of neural processing in a mysterious region of the midbrain that is the very origin of our central serotonin (5-HT) ...

Neural network models that are able to make decisions or store memories have long captured scientists' imaginations. In these models, a hallmark of the computation being performed by the network is ...

Listen to the first notes of an old, beloved song. Can you name that tune? If you can, congratulations -- it's a triumph of your associative memory, in which one piece of information (the first few ...

One of the universal challenges in human knowledge is translating what is deeply felt and implicitly understood into ...

The intersection of artificial intelligence and mechanistic neuroscience is rapidly transforming our understanding of neural systems. While AI ...

This study uses a Bayesian framework to characterize latent brain state dynamics associated with memory encoding and performance in children, as measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging.

New research suggests that the natural rhythm of breathing plays an important role in organizing the brain activity required for human memory. The study indicates that successful memory retrieval is ...
