In vitro biological neural networks (BNNs) embodied in robots exhibit a wide range of complex behaviors, including supervised and unsupervised learning, memory, object tracking, obstacle avoidance, and the ability to play simple games.
M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) dependent LTP and LTD share a common AMPA trafficking pathway. Either the upregulation of neurotransmitter receptor genes or suppression of the downregulation could improve synaptic dysfunction associated with age-related neurodegeneration. The findings could assist in the creation of new therapies for Alzheimer's disease that target synaptic plasticity.
Disrupting memories associated with environmental cues significantly reduces cocaine seeking behaviors in rat models of addiction, a new study reports.
Researchers report neurogenesis underlies the brain's capacity to create and store new memories. Exercise, researchers report, promotes neurogenesis and increases hippocampal capacity.
Researchers report molecular networks on both sides of a synapse are important for controlling learning.
Researchers report alcohol seeking behavior may be induced by altering the strength of synapses.
LUM researchers shed light on how an RNA binding protein is involved in learning and memory.
Findings shed light on the effect of marijuana on the developing brain and provide a target for cannabis use disorder.
Researchers report on the complex actions of how brain cells change as a result of different experiences.
According to researchers, sleep can be impacted due to diets high in fiber, saturated fats and sugar.
Researchers have identified a mechanism which allows the brain to strengthen links between neurons.
A new study claims to have settled a long running debate, namely what happens in the brain when we learn.
