This important study suggests that adolescent mice exhibit less accuracy than adult mice in a sound discrimination task when the sound frequencies are very similar. While the evidence supporting this ...

New research uncovers how the brain processes learning by identifying the exact moment an animal learns a new skill.

The researchers taught mice to lick when they heard one tone but not to lick when they heard a different sound. From the ...

Johns Hopkins University researchers discovered that mice can learn new skills in fewer trials than previously assumed. Their ...

A research team at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has uncovered a fundamental principle of how the brain prioritizes ...

In mice, learning and performance on an auditory task is driven by higher-order signals in the auditory cortex that are no longer required when the mouse has achieved expert-level performance.

The secondary motor cortex (M2) acted as a "sensory gatekeeper." When the mice were moving, M2 sent inhibitory signals to the auditory cortex, blocking auditory signals from reaching the PPC.

Huang and colleagues examined neural responses in mouse anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) during a discrimination-avoidance task. The authors present useful findings that ACC neurons encode primarily ...
