Inside the brain is a dense network of neurons that receive, process, and relay information. The synapse, where neurons meet, ...

Our brains have an extraordinary ability to adapt and learn, a process known as neuroplasticity. From navigating a new city to mastering a new skill, neuroplasticity allows us to reshape our neural ...

A new study reveals that extensive training rewires the brain, offloading automated skills to the temporal cortex to allow ...

Learning to read written text fundamentally alters the pathways the human brain uses to process spoken words. According to a recent study, adults with formal literacy training recruit a specialized ...

Scientists are learning how the brain extracts discrete words from a continuous stream of sounds.

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 ...

Summary: A paradigm-shifting study has upended a decades-long neurological assumption that learning speed depends entirely on repetition and experience rather than the size of a reward. The research ...

Scientists have discovered that the brain’s sensory systems play a much larger role in speech learning than previously believed.

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, ...

Ferroptosis, a type of cell death, may help maintain neuron balance in the hippocampus, supporting memory, learning and brain ...

Scientific research suggests that neurological adulthood begins around age 32, a stage associated with greater brain maturity ...

Research highlights how laughter activates brain networks, boosts key chemicals and reduces stress, with experts calling it a ...
