Less changes a lot Reduced dopamine production influences learning ability in a surprising way
New findings on dopamine and learning. Researchers at the Leibniz Institute of Neurobiology (LIN) have shown in a recently published study that a reduction in dopamine production in the brain alters learning in a surprising way. Their study showed that a reduced dopamine level improves the association of stimuli with punishment at unusually long time…

Deciphering the sequence of neuronal firing
How does the brain retain a sequence of events in memory? Researchers from the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), the University of Bonn, the University Hospital Tübingen and the University of Tübingen investigated this question. Using a unique measurement technique with implanted electrodes in the human brain, they were able to test a widely accepted theory…

How the brain manages the perfect balancing act Study by Dresden University Medicine provides new insights
The brain impresses with its unique ability to process information efficiently and adapt flexibly to changing challenges. Until now, science has based this on two separate principles: criticality, i.e. the balancing act between order and chaos, and efficient coding, in which the brain reduces superfluous signals and utilises its resources with maximum precision. However, a…
