Neuroscientists discover ‘rules’ for how neurons encode new information Researchers have identified “rules” for how neurons encode new information in the brain, revealing that different groups of synapses on a neuron follow different learning rules. The traditional Hebbian rule, where neurons that consistently fire together wire together, does […]
