Scientists ‘Write’ New Learning Patterns Directly into the Human Brain

An NYU researcher administers chemical signals to non-neural cells grown in a culture plate.

Your Body Has Hidden Memories: Scientists Discover Cells Outside the Brain Can Learn

Early-born neurons (magenta) in the hippocampus create a long-persisting copy of a memory.

Brain Creates Triple Backup: New Study Reveals Multiple Copies of Memories

Climbing fibres, in the form of ivy, wrap around the branches of a Purkinje cell-shaped tree, within the vibrant courtyard of a school populated by mice. The illustration captures the essential role of climbing fibres as teaching signals for associative cerebellar learning.

Exciting the brain could be key to boosting maths learning

Complex sugar molecules control the formation of perineuronal nets (shown here in green) that surround neurons to help stabilize connections in the brain.

Sugars affect brain ‘plasticity,’ helping with learning, memory, recovery

The experimental setup. Cultured neurons grew on top of electrodes. Patterns of electrical stimulation trained the neurons to reorganize so that they could distinguish two hidden sources. Waveforms at the bottom represent the spiking responses to a sensory stimulus (red line).

Math theory predicts self-organized learning in real neurons

The researchers used portable electroencephalogram (EEG) technology (pictured above) to measure the brainwaves of students and instructors.
