Digital technologies bring the science of learning to a critical crossroad. With a lack of high-quality, evidence-based data on the effectiveness and quality of digital learning products, there is a ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

The findings may also have implications for learning and memory disorders, including Fragile X syndrome. Less than twenty minutes after finishing this article, your brain will begin to store the ...

A new ‘biomimetic’ model of brain circuits and function at multiple scales produced naturalistic dynamics and learning, and ...

Listening to music immediately after learning new information may help improve memory retention in older adults and ...

Long-term success is based on leveraging and maximizing things you can control. Like effort. Perseverance. Surprisingly (at least to some), being nice. But most important, leveraging and maximizing ...

Research undertaken over the last century has revealed that sleep plays a role in the mechanisms directing normal cognitive and developmental processes, including the consolidation of memories. This ...

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, ...
