Imagine one day being able to consult with a doctor about "switching off" your smoking habit with a day of outpatient surgery. That's the possibility raised by a study conducted by MIT neuroscientists ...

Understanding how the brain learns and applies rules is the key to unraveling the neural basis of flexible behavior. A new study from the University of Toyama, Japan, reveals that our ability to ...
