One recent study linked a lower risk of Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline to lifelong learning and intellectually ...

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

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

Researchers challenge the "efficiency" theory of the brain, showing that neurons become more coordinated and share more information as learning occurs.

Researchers use MEG imaging to show that the brain reactivates "forgotten" memories, but they only reach consciousness if they pulse at a specific rhythm.

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

Some people seem to pick up new skills the way a sponge soaks up water, while others grind through repetition with only modest gains. The gap can look like talent or luck, but neuroscience is ...

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, ...

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 ...
