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 ...

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 ...

Research finds handwriting activates key brain regions for memory and learning, suggesting schools should balance traditional and digital practices. Study: Handwriting but not typewriting leads to ...

A team of researchers has discovered that a protein called cypin plays a powerful role in helping brain cells connect and communicate, which is crucial for learning and memory. By uncovering how cypin ...

A shift in a single brain protein can reshape how cues turn into habits, opening new possibilities for treating addiction and neurological disorders.

A new finding from researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center shows that the learning process of associating cues ...

Artificial intelligence is moving from the lab bench into the operating room, promising to spot and classify brain tumors with a level of speed and precision that would have sounded like science ...

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, ...

Aging may come with its fair share of physical changes, but your brain doesn’t stop evolving just because you’ve hit 40. In fact, learning a new skill in your 40s or later can do more than just pass ...

Experts say the more we challenge our brains as we age, the more resilient it becomes—and “learning a new instrument is a full-brain workout.” After the age of 40, the average brain decreases 5 ...
