A new lipid-based pathway essential for memory formation has been discovered by University of Queensland researchers – a breakthrough that could lead to treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder ...

Our brains may work best when teetering on the edge of chaos. A new theory suggests that criticality a sweet spot between order and randomness is the secret to learning, memory, and adaptability. When ...

With age comes a natural decline in cognitive function, even among otherwise healthy adults without dementia. A new study finds that a cognitive training program may boost production of a brain ...

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 ...

When educators panic about artificial intelligence in the classroom, they often fall back on a familiar definition of learning: a change in long-term memory. It sounds scientific. It gives the ...

Since no one ever does anything worthwhile on their own, who you know is important. But what you know — and what you do with what you know — is crucial. Learning, memory, and cognitive skills are a ...

Cognitive science and neuroscience are transforming how we learn, offering practical strategies like active recall, concept mapping, and brain-based teaching. These methods help students retain more ...

With age comes a natural decline in cognitive function, even among otherwise healthy adults without dementia. A new study finds that a cognitive training program may boost production of a brain ...

An University of Iowa-led research team has documented in humans that physical exercise sparks an increase in brain waves called ripples connecting areas in the brain linked to learning and memory.
