How we learn in chunks – and what it means for the brain
In some research conducted with his colleagues at the University of California San Diego, IBEC senior researcher Jordi Fonollosa has shed some light on the mechanisms behind how we memorize sequences – as well as how failures in these mechanisms can provide insight into neurological disorders.
Previous behavioral experiments suggest that humans and some animals learn and recall sequences in smaller segments.
Investigadores del Hospital Clínic, el IDIBAPS, el Hospital Sant Joan de Déu y el Instituto de Bioingeniería de Catalunya (IBEC) han participado en un estudio liderado por científicos de Salk Institute en La Jolla (California) en el que han utilizado «tijeras» moleculares para eliminar las mutaciones mitocondriales en óvulos de ratón.
