Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science have discovered spinal cord neural mechanisms that allow for brain-independent motor learning, potentially revolutionizing recovery therapies for spinal cord injuries.in Japan have identified the neural pathways in the spinal cord that facilitate motor learning independently of the brain.
In this study, spinal cords that associated limb position with an unpleasant experience learned to reposition the limb after only 10 minutes, and retained a memory the next day. Spinal cords that received random unpleasantness did not learn. Credit: RIKEN

Ancient predatory worms have scientists rethinking the history of life on Earth500 million years ago, the world was a very different place. During this period of time, known as the Cambrian period, basically all life was in the water. The ocean was brimming with animals that looked pretty different from the ones we recognize today — including a group of predatory worms with a throat covered in teeth and spines.

Coupled neural activity controls working memory in humansHow does the human brain temporarily store information without losing track of it? Neuroscientists have discovered that neurons in the frontal and temporal lobes work together to hold information in working memory. Temporarily holding on to information depends on coordinated brain waves.
