A new study shows that estrogen naturally modulates dopamine signaling in the brain, altering how female rats learn reward cues across the reproductive cycle.

Researchers have long established that hormones significantly affect the brain, creating changes in emotion, energy levels, and decision-making. However, the intricacies of these processes are not ...

The team pinpointed the exact moment mice learned a new skill by observing the activity of individual neurons, confirming earlier work that suggested animals are fast learners that purposely test the ...

Memories of significant learning experiences—like the first time a driver gets a speeding ticket—are sharp, compared to the recollection of everyday events—like what someone ate for dinner two weeks ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These ...

Aging may come with its fair share of physical changes, but your brain doesn’t stop evolving just because you’ve hit 40. In fact, learning a new skill in your 40s or later can do more than just pass ...

A breakthrough in neuromorphic computing could lower the energy consumption of chips and accelerate progress toward artificial general intelligence (AGI). Researchers from the USC Viterbi School of En ...

Scientists at EPFL have unraveled the mystery behind why biological nanopores, tiny molecular holes used in both nature and ...

We’re all traveling all the time. It might be mundane, like that rote commute to school drop-off or our workplace, or the travel might be unusual, like that time my husband and I swam with stingrays ...
