A preclinical study published in Nature has found evidence that the hippocampus, the brain region that stores memory, also reorganizes memories to anticipate future outcomes. The findings, from ...

Stressful study sessions help us pass exams, but curiosity promotes long-term understanding and information retention. In A ...

Researchers have long sought to understand the biological mechanisms that underlie learning. We know that the brain creates links and networks among neurons as we learn and form memories. Synaptic ...

A new study finds the hippocampus reorganizes memories to predict rewards. This discovery explains how the brain learns and why Alzheimer's affects decision-making.

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 ...

Alzheimer’s memory loss may be linked to disrupted brain activity during rest, when recent experiences are usually replayed and saved.

Learning is not just about spending long hours with books; it is about learning smarter and following how the brain naturally ...

Parts of the brain are "rewired" when people learn computer programming, according to new research. Scientists watched university students’ brains as they learned to code. The team used functional ...
