In A Nutshell A timing gap of just 50 to 100 milliseconds determines whether a dopamine signal in the brain drives learning ...

A growing body of neuroscience research is revealing that the brain’s ability to learn and its ability to move depend on the ...

We tend to think of learning as something that happens in the mind, a mental exercise of reading, practicing, and remembering. But the truth is far more visceral. Every time you learn something new, ...

In 1897 Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov proved that animals can be trained using associative learning. A new study finds ...

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 randomized placebo controlled experiment shows that increasing noradrenaline during learning does not improve basic memory ...

A brief period of exercise may do more for your brain than you expect. New research led by the University of Iowa shows that even a single workout can rapidly shift how your brain processes memory.

A machine-learning study finds that "brain age" calculated from sleep EEG waves can predict dementia risk, with a 10-year age ...

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 ...

A machine-learning analysis of brain waves recorded during sleep may help identify people at high risk of developing dementia ...
