"The math-microscope made a dozen predictions, not just about entorhinal but many other brain regions too. To our complete surprise, the mathematical microscope worked every time," Mehta continued.

It’s relatively easy to understand how optical microscopes work at low magnifications: one lens magnifies an image, the next magnifies the already-magnified image, and so on until it reaches the eye ...

Researchers have discovered a mechanism that creates memories while reducing metabolic cost, even during sleep. This efficient memory occurs in a part of the brain that is crucial for learning and ...
