A peer-reviewed article in Neurobiology of Learning and Memory is challenging a foundational assumption about how animals and ...

When you get better at a skill—recognizing a familiar face in a crowd, spotting a typo at a glance, or anticipating the next move in a game—sensory neurons in your brain become more coordinated, ...

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 ...

Our brains may work best when teetering on the edge of chaos. A new theory suggests that criticality a sweet spot between order and randomness is the secret to learning, memory, and adaptability. When ...

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?

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology not only learned a simple visual category learning task exactly as well as lab animals, but even enabled the ...

(Science Photo Library/Canva) Exercise works wonders throughout the human body, including the brain. Research suggests an ...

When we find learning hard, especially in subjects like maths, we often focus on the environment. Maybe individuals did not have good teachers, or perhaps they were not motivated. But research is now ...

Your brain is constantly evolving. Throughout your life, it reshapes, adjusts, and grows stronger in response to learning, new experiences, and your habits. This amazing shape-shifting ability is ...

Most children in elementary school begin learning about the body and how it works; however, research reveals that parents and teachers tend to leave out information about the brain. In fact, one study ...

When you get better at a skill-recognizing a familiar face in a crowd, spotting a typo at a glance, or anticipating the next move in a game-sensory neurons in your brain become more coordinated, ...
