How does the brain turn experiences into memories? Scientists reveal how two neuron types control learning. Also: lynx rewilding, natural hydrogen, and avalanche risk.

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

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 human brain is one of the most complex structures in nature, but the brain's origins stretch back hundreds of millions of years. A new study using AI deep-learning models has revealed more about ...

Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute for Physiology, working in collaboration with Johns Hopkins University, have achieved an important breakthrough in brain research. The ...

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 ...

When babies are born, their brains contain billions of neurons. But how those neurons interact — and what they can do as babies grow through childhood into adulthood — is largely shaped by their ...

The brain may organize emotions like locations on a map, revealing a hidden system that helps people interpret changing feelings.
