Rats' mental 'instant replay' drives next moves
Researchers at MIT's Picower Institute for Learning and Memory have found that rats use a mental instant replay of their actions to help them decide what to do next, shedding new light on how animals and humans learn and remember.
-
The mind's eye scans like a spotlight
New research at MIT's Picower Institute for Learning and Memory sheds light on a long-standing debate over how the visual system picks out an object of interest in a complex scene.
-
Learning from our successes
New work by a team of neuroscientists may explain why brain cells only learn from experience when we do something right and not when we fail.
-
Adult brain can change within seconds
MIT neuroscientists find that the brain is constantly recalibrating neural connections, explaining how it can adapt so quickly to sensory information.
-
Birds reveal how practice improves performance
By studying the chirps of tiny songbirds, MIT neuroscientists have gained new insights on trial-and-error learning -- findings that could further understanding of the complex brain structures that play a key role in learning and habit formation in humans.
-
Researchers find new actions of neurochemicals
MIT researchers have found novel C. elegans neurochemical receptors, the discovery of which could lead to new therapeutic targets for psychiatric disorders if similar receptors are found in humans.
-
Thinking of you
Based on studies involving the blind, MIT neuroscientists have some surprising new insights about how people make inferences about others' state of mind.
-
Sleep helps build long-term memories
New work by researchers at MIT's Picower Institute for Learning and Memory shows how the sleeping brain replays experiences like video clips, thereby turning fleeting short-term memories into lasting long-term ones.
