Neuroscientists at Vanderbilt identify the brain cells that help humans adapt to change
Posted by Nicholi Avery in categories: engineering, neuroscience
A team of researchers with interdisciplinary expertise in psychology, informatics (the application of information science to solve problems with data) and engineering along with the Vanderbilt Brain Institute (VBI) gained critical insights into one of the biggest mysteries in neuroscience, identifying the location and critical nature of these neurons.”
New research on cognitive flexibility points to a small class of brain cells that support switching attention strategies when old strategies fail.
