New research adds evidence that learning a successful strategy for approaching a task doesn't prevent further exploration, even if it reduces performance. Maybe it's a life hack or a liability, or a ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual category learning task exactly as well as lab animals, but even enabled the ...

When biologists study cooperation in animals, they usually offer just a single task at a time. But what happens when animals ...

The team pinpointed the exact moment mice learned a new skill by observing the activity of individual neurons, confirming earlier work that suggested animals are fast learners that purposely test the ...
