Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have traced a genetic mutation found in psychosis patients to a specific breakdown in the brain’s learning machinery, offering one of the ...

A randomized placebo controlled experiment shows that increasing noradrenaline during learning does not improve basic memory accuracy but increases the spread of associations across the hippocampal ...

Researchers challenge the "efficiency" theory of the brain, showing that neurons become more coordinated and share more information as learning occurs.

How does the brain turn experiences into memories? Scientists reveal how two neuron types control learning. Also: lynx rewilding, natural hydrogen, and avalanche risk.

To understand why, the team looked at the MRI scans.

Handwriting engages motor, language, and attention systems, activating the brain more fully than typing. Writing by hand ...

A machine-learning study finds that "brain age" calculated from sleep EEG waves can predict dementia risk, with a 10-year age gap increasing risk by 40%.

Stretching your brain might be the better description. Do a crossword puzzle a day and you may just get good at crosswords. Instead, research increasingly shows that a variety of habits and hobbies ...
