Visual learning shapes the processing of complex movement stimuli in the human brain.

2 Nov 2009 Recognition of actions and complex movements is fundamental for social interactions and action understanding. While the relationship between motor expertise and visual recognition of body movements has received a vast amount of interest, the role of ... Read more...

Decreased firing of striatal neurons related to licking during acquisition and overtraining of a licking task.

2 Nov 2009 Neurons that fire in relation to licking, in the ventral part of the dorsolateral striatum (DLS), were studied during acquisition and performance of a licking task in rats for 14 sessions (2 h/d). Task learning was indicated by fewer errors of ... Read more...

Embedding multiple trajectories in simulated recurrent neural networks in a self-organizing manner.

19 Oct 2009 Complex neural dynamics produced by the recurrent architecture of neocortical circuits is critical to the cortex's computational power. However, the synaptic learning rules underlying the creation of stable propagation and reproducible neural ... Read more...
