Signal coupling between neuron-glia super-network may lead to improved memory formation — ScienceDaily
Tohoku University scientists have shown that neuronal and glial circuits form a loosely coupled super-network within the brain. Activation of the metabotropic glutamate receptors in neurons was shown to be largely influenced by the...

Sleep is vital to associating emotion with memory, study finds — ScienceDaily
When you slip into sleep, it's easy to imagine that your brain shuts down, but University of Michigan research suggests that groups of neurons activated during prior learning keep humming, tattooing memories into your...

How novelty triggers neural mechanisms that facilitate flexible strategy encoding — ScienceDaily
A study of spatial learning in mice shows that exposure to new experiences dampens established representations in the brain's hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, allowing the mice to learn new navigation strategies. The study, published...
How a single cell slime mold makes smart decisions without a central nervous system...
Having a memory of past events enables us to take smarter decisions about the future. Researchers at the Max-Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization (MPI-DS) and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have now...
