Neuroscience shows traditional teaching is not enough. Instead, an experiential approach can return learning to its natural ...

In humans, the process of learning is driven by different groups of cells in the brain firing together. For instance, when the neurons associated with the process of recognizing a dog begin to fire in ...

Researchers have demonstrated that brain cells learn faster and carry out complex networking more effectively than machine learning by comparing how both a Synthetic Biological Intelligence (SBI) ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

Humans possess a remarkable balance between stability and flexibility, enabling them to quickly establish new plans and ...

In Brain Rules, Dr. John Medina, a molecular biologist, shares his lifelong interest in how the brain sciences might influence the way we teach our children and the way we work. In each chapter, he ...

In this post, I suggest several simple principles about the organization of neural circuits involved in mind and behavior that provide a context for understanding how classic, widely accepted ...
