New neuroscience research reveals how our brains evolve through key life stages, highlighting the hidden strengths of aging. From childhood's rapid learning to the wisdom of older age, each phase ...

A new University of Rochester study could reshape how scientists think about perception, learning disorders, and artificial ...

A University of Iowa-led research team has documented in humans that physical exercise sparks an increase in brain waves ...

Researchers find that the amygdala is a sophisticated mediator that chooses between action-based and stimulus-based learning ...

It is now understood that the hippocampus is closely linked to learning and memory (Doidge, 2015; Suzuki, 2015). However, this was not always the case. One prominent experiment investigating memory, ...

A single exercise session increased electrical activity in a brain region tied to learning and memory, a first-of-its-kind ...

The team pinpointed the exact moment mice learned a new skill by observing the activity of individual neurons, confirming earlier work that suggested animals are fast learners that purposely test the ...

For decades, scientists have mapped attention, memory, language, and reasoning to separate brain networks — yet one big mystery remained: why does the mind feel like a single, unified system?

Teachers are increasingly encouraged to become amateur neuroscientists. For the last decade, educational materials have promoted neuroplasticity, the brain’s capacity for adaptation, as the key to ...

Scientists have grown a tiny brain-like organoid out of human stem cells, hooked it up to a computer, and demonstrated its potential as a kind of organic machine learning chip, showing it can quickly ...
