Motor learning encompasses a wide range of phenomena, ranging from relatively low-level
mechanisms for maintaining calibration of our movements, to making high-level cognitive …

Adaptive behaviour requires the ability to focus on a task and protect it from distraction
(cognitive stability) and to rapidly switch tasks when circumstances change (cognitive …

Learning is primarily mediated by activity-dependent modifications of synaptic strength
within neuronal circuits. We discovered that place fields in hippocampal area CA1 are …

Naturalistic experimental paradigms in neuroimaging arose from a pressure to test the
validity of models we derive from highly-controlled experiments in real-world contexts. In …

Neuroscience has focused on the detailed implementation of computation, studying neural
codes, dynamics and circuits. In machine learning, however, artificial neural networks tend …

Memory consolidation refers to the transformation over time of experience-dependent
internal representations and their neurobiological underpinnings. The process is assumed …

While influential across a wide variety of subfields, cultural analysis in sociology continues to
be hampered by coarse-grained conceptualizations of the different modes in which culture …

The idea that memory is stored in the brain as physical alterations goes back at least as far
as Plato, but further conceptualization of this idea had to wait until the 20 th century when …

Despite a growing body of research devoted to the study of how humans encode
environmental patterns, there is still no clear consensus about the nature of the …

Mentalizing—the capacity to understand others' and one's own behavior in terms of mental
states—is a defining human social and psychological achievement. It involves a complex …
