Princeton researchers found that the brain excels at learning because it reuses modular “cognitive blocks” across many tasks. Monkeys switching between visual categorization challenges revealed that ...

Language learning is a fascinating and intricate process that has intrigued scholars and researchers for centuries. It is not only a means of communication but also a window into the complex workings ...

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 ...

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, ...

The importance of fostering a sense of belonging in educational learning spaces cannot be overstated. Research has shown that students who feel a strong sense of belonging in these environments are ...

Over the past several years, there has been an increased research output in the field of language acquisition and its effects on the brain. This is especially true with regards to the effects of ...

A new McGill-led study reveals that digital brain exercises can rejuvenate aging brain systems responsible for learning and memory. Older adults using BrainHQ for 10 weeks showed restored cholinergic ...

Researchers report that complex sugar molecules in the brain might affect plasticity, which is involved in learning and memory. During their study, the researchers changed one of the genes in mice and ...

Teachers’ beliefs matter for student learning—but myths about the brain can be easily spread and hard to dislodge. The vast majority of active and future teachers—and even more of the general public ...

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 ...
