Why deep sleep promotes our memory Slow brain waves make the cerebral cortex particularly receptive
It has been known for almost 20 years that slow, synchronised excitation waves during deep sleep support memory formation. It was previously unknown why this is the case. A research team from Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin has now provided an explanation in the journal Nature Communications*. The slow waves make the cerebral cortex, the seat…

How is our memory wired Pattern completion process
The black box of the human brain is beginning to open. Although animal models are crucial to our understanding of the mammalian brain, the less frequently collected human data is revealing important features. In a paper published in Cell, a team led by the Jonas Group at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA)…

A Body plan for the inner watch of the Brain
Inner watch controlls in all lifecycle of creatures the process of phisiologys and also there cautious. Now, an international Team of Researchers under the lead Researchers on University of Wurzburg has created an detailled Card of inner Watch on the Brain by an furit fly. Fruit flys to apply very simliar to humans functional. Würzburg,…

How the evolution of the brain is linked to the use of tools
Research team from the Senckenberg Centre for Human Evolution and Palaeoenvironment at the University of Tübingen combines experimental archaeology with the recording of brain waves Tübingen, November 19, 2024 – Changes in the cerebrum may have enabled early humans to use tools with precision, thus initiating the biocultural evolution that led to the human species…

How our brain predicts the world
New study by Tübingen researchers shows how learning processes in the brain shape our perception. A research team led by Professor Dr Markus Siegel from the Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research at the University of Tübingen has discovered that our brain constantly optimises its own perception of the world by learning from past experiences…

Learning without guidance
Self-reinforcing learning can help us to understand new things, but also to reinforce false beliefs. Neuroscientist Franziska Bröker is investigating whether people can continue to learn something on their own, i.e. develop learning independently without feedback. Tübingen, October 18. 2024 Imagine a child seeing sheep and goats on a farm for the first time. A…
