Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain’s neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons. For the first time, DZNE researchers have observed an ...

Assistant Professor of Biomolecular Engineering Tal Sharf holds up a specialized chip for recording electrical activity in brain organoids. Artificial intelligence (AI) has proven its incredible ...

New research shows that your brain’s “true age” can shift dramatically depending on how you live, with optimism, restorative ...

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 ...

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 ...

When we find learning hard, especially in subjects like maths, we often focus on the environment. Maybe individuals did not have good teachers, or perhaps they were not motivated. But research is now ...

Using computational models, the researchers studied how the brain's reward-learning system functions in those with depression, especially among individuals experiencing anhedonia, the inability to ...

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, ...

Previous research has found that the human brain reaches maturity sometime in the 20s, but a new study suggests that it never stops developing. Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have ...

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 ...
