By Fenying Zang Older people often respond less consistently when making decisions. But does a similar behavioural pattern occur in other species, and what happens to the activity of individual neurons as the brain ages? Researchers at Leiden University, working with collaborators from the International Brain Laboratory (IBL) and University of California, Los Angeles, analysedContinue reading “Does the ageing brain become ‘noisier’?”

By Fenying Zang When I arrived at the Computational and Cognitive Neuroscience Summer School in Suzhou, I felt both excited and curious. My PhD project has largely focused on analysing neural recordings and examining how neural activity varies across trials. While this empirical perspective has allowed me to identify patterns in data, I had becomeContinue reading “Connecting Neural Data and Computational Models at CCNSS 2026”
