Rats and mice have a tendency to interact more with a novel object than with a familiar object. This tendency has been used by behavioral pharmacologists and neuroscientists to study learning and ...

The human brain can select relevant objects from a flood of information and edit out what is irrelevant. It also knows which parts belong to a whole. If, for example, we direct our attention to the ...

Diagram of the ventral fronto-temporal network operations necessary for visual object memory. During perception (left), neurons in the anterior ventral temporal cortex (aVTC) are primarily activated ...

The next time you're struggling to remember exactly where you left your keys, parked your car or put down your glasses, don't necessarily give up on your memory completely. Previous research has shown ...

The fundamental insight that the visual hierarchy is divided into two pathways, ventral and dorsal 1, has guided research on visual cortex for decades and has also influenced ideas about organization ...

Advances in machine learning and deep learning systems are bring us much closer to developing true artificial intelligence (AI) than ever before. One major limitation to these systems, though, is the ...

Alloys that can return to their original structure after being deformed have a so-called shape memory. This phenomenon and the resulting forces are used in many mechanical actuating systems, for ...
