Memory is not a recording device. It doesn't play back events like a video camera would. Instead, it's a remarkably active, ...

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

It turns out your brain might not be the only part of your body that remembers. Scientists at NYU have found that cells outside the brain—like those from your kidneys—can actually "learn" and form ...

Oxytocin, a hormone renowned for fostering emotional, also plays a pivotal role in cognitive functions such as learning and memory.

A study published in the Journal of Neuroscience sheds new light on how brain cells relay critical information from their extremities to their nucleus, leading to the activation of genes essential for ...

A new lipid-based pathway essential for memory formation has been discovered by University of Queensland researchers – a breakthrough that could lead to treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder ...

With age comes a natural decline in cognitive function, even among otherwise healthy adults without dementia. A new study finds that a cognitive training program may boost production of a brain ...

Scientists have mapped a direct link between a common brain gas and the hyperactive cell growth often seen in autism. Protecting a specific protein from this gas normalized behavior in animal models ...

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, ...

When educators panic about artificial intelligence in the classroom, they often fall back on a familiar definition of learning: a change in long-term memory. It sounds scientific. It gives the ...

The human brain, despite representing only about 2% of total body weight, consumes approximately 20% of the body’s energy resources. This metabolic intensity makes the brain particularly responsive to ...
