Humans and animals have the ability to continually acquire, fine-tune, and transfer
knowledge and skills throughout their lifespan. This ability, referred to as lifelong learning, is …

The fields of neuroscience and artificial intelligence (AI) have a long and intertwined history.
In more recent times, however, communication and collaboration between the two fields has …

Neural networks are achieving state of the art and sometimes super-human performance on
learning tasks across a variety of domains. Whenever these problems require learning in a …

Although every life event is unique, there are considerable commonalities across events.
However, little is known about whether or how the brain flexibly represents information about …

Knowledge abstracted from previous experiences can be transferred to aid new learning.
Here, we asked whether such abstract knowledge immediately guides the replay of new …

We update complementary learning systems (CLS) theory, which holds that intelligent
agents must possess two learning systems, instantiated in mammalians in neocortex and …

A growing literature suggests that the hippocampus is critical for the rapid extraction of
regularities from the environment. Although this fits with the known role of the hippocampus …

Theories on the functions of the hippocampal system are based largely on two fundamental
discoveries: the amnestic consequences of removing the hippocampus and associated …

Cognitive maps enable efficient inferences from limited experience that can guide novel
decisions. We tested whether the hippocampus (HC), entorhinal cortex (EC), and …

Physical exercise can convey a protective effect against cognitive decline in ageing and
Alzheimer's disease. While the long-term health-promoting and protective effects of exercise …
