For more than a decade, neuroscientists had recordings from monkey brains learning to sort visual patterns. They had analyzed ...
Researchers identify the rostral prefrontal cortex as the essential bridge between spontaneous and executive brain networks ...
An MIT-led team built a biologically detailed AI model of the prefrontal cortex–striatum circuit that not only matched macaque learning behavior but predicted a previously unnoticed class of neurons ...
Princeton researchers found that the brain excels at learning because it reuses modular “cognitive blocks” across many tasks. Monkeys switching between visual categorization challenges revealed that ...
An image from the research shows axons from neurons in the ACA (red) and ORB (green) innervating the visual cortex, targeting discrete layers. Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT ...
