A team of researchers from the University of Rochester, Yale University, and Princeton University has made a big stride in neuroscience. They have shown a method to induce learning through the direct ...

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 ...

In our age of information overload, remembering things can be a daunting task. But as a memory researcher and college professor, I’ve found some hope in that challenge. In January 2021, like millions ...

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 ...

Princeton researchers found that the brain excels at learning because it reuses modular “cognitive blocks” across many tasks. Monkeys switching between visual categorization challenges revealed that ...

A multi-institutional team of researchers led by Virginia Tech's Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC has for the first time identified specific patterns of brain chemical activity that predict ...

Even a short afternoon nap can help the brain recover and improve its ability to learn, a new study published in NeuroImage has suggested, reinforcing the idea that sleep plays an active role in brain ...

On October 31, 2025, researchers revealed a groundbreaking innovation: a brain-inspired computer prototype designed to bring self-learning artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities directly to mobile ...

Researchers report that complex sugar molecules in the brain might affect plasticity, which is involved in learning and memory. During their study, the researchers changed one of the genes in mice and ...

Language learning is a fascinating and intricate process that has intrigued scholars and researchers for centuries. It is not only a means of communication but also a window into the complex workings ...

Scientists are beginning to show that learning is not exclusive to neurons and synapses. At the scale of billionths of a meter, tiny channels called nanopores are starting to display brain-like ...
