This valuable manuscript addresses the longstanding question of how the brain maintains serial order in working memory, proposing a biologically grounded model based on synaptic augmentation ...
Researchers identified a combination of two existing cancer drugs, letrozole and irinotecan, that reversed Alzheimer’s ...
Characterization of intracellular synapse heterogeneity aides to understand the intricate computational logic of neuronal circuits. Despite recent advances in connectomics, the spatial patterns of ...
Theorists have long postulated for decades that the brain might be using unsupervised learning,” said Lin Zhong, the first author and research scientist at HHMI, as reported by IFL Science. “Humans ...
