Researchers at University of Tsukuba and their collaborators have demonstrated that learning from both rewarding and aversive ...

Dopamine is a powerful signal in the brain, influencing our moods, motivations, movements, and more. The neurotransmitter is crucial for reward-based learning, a function that may be disrupted in a ...

Research shows that reward-based learning requires the two neuromodulators to balance one another's influence -- like the accelerator and brakes on a car If you've heard of two of the brain's chemical ...

If you reward a monkey with some juice, it will learn which hand to move in response to a specific visual cue – but only if the cerebellum is functioning properly. So say neuroscientists at the ...

A new study finds the hippocampus reorganizes memories to predict rewards. This discovery explains how the brain learns and why Alzheimer's affects decision-making.

Artificial reinforcement learning is just one lens to evaluate organizations. However, this thought experiment taught me that ...

In the other session, participants only got "reward feedback," with successful shots being artificially shown pocketing, while failed shots gave no visual results. The goal was to see whether the ...

Learning is essential in everyday life. Whenever we make a choice, we need to know whether to repeat it or to try a different course of action. But what makes us learn or prevents us from learning? A ...
