Article Synopsis
- The human brain's ability to learn throughout life is linked to mechanisms that allow it to acquire new experiences while keeping old ones intact.
- The authors propose a computational model focusing on dopamine signals and homeostatic plasticity in the hippocampus to explain how this learning capability works.
- Testing showed that these mechanisms can help improve the learning of new information while safeguarding existing knowledge, suggesting potential applications in both neuroscience research and machine learning.
