A new study reveals that working memory limitations stem from learning challenges rather than storage capacity.

Working memory is what allows humans to juggle different pieces of information in short-term scenarios, like making a mental ...

Using a novel system, researchers found that a part of the basal ganglia called the striatum is not involved in action selection as previously thought. Instead, the striatum and the motor cortex work ...

Now, using a novel system developed at Janelia, researchers led by the Dudman Lab found that a part of the basal ganglia called the striatum is not involved in action selection as previously thought.

From a study that analyzed brain images of more than 2,500 people with Parkinson's disease in 20 different countries, scientists have been able to identify patterns of neurodegeneration and create ...

Working memory, which allows one to juggle multiple tasks at the same time, may have its limits, according to a new study ...

A study in eLife reveals that 'chunking' information enhances working memory beyond its capacity. Using computer models, researchers found dopamine plays a crucial role in learning, offering insights ...

"Our findings suggest that behavioral inflexibility in autism arises from deficits in the communication between dopamine and acetylcholine in the basal ganglia. We will continue to investigate how ...

memories that are unconscious and depend on the basal ganglia and cerebellum. In a large-scale online study, Revsine et al. observed that participants tend to remember (or forget) the same ...

Using a novel system, researchers at HHMI's Janelia Research Campus and collaborators found that a part of the basal ganglia called the striatum is not involved in action selection as previously ...

Working memory is what allows humans to juggle different pieces of information in short-term scenarios, like making a mental grocery list and then going shopping or remembering and then dialing a ...
