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.

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, ...

This approach could lead to more effective brain stimulation-based interventions, targeting specific mechanisms supporting learning, especially from the view of neurorehabilitation, for which the main ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Talia Milgrom-Elcott nurtures belonging & advances STEM. When Dr. Melina Uncapher looks at the brain, she sees an organ constantly ...

Teachers are increasingly encouraged to become amateur neuroscientists. For the last decade, educational materials have promoted neuroplasticity, the brain’s capacity for adaptation, as the key to ...

A study reveals that the effectiveness of brain stimulation on motor skills is determined by an individual's learning ability rather than age, highlighting the need for a more personalized approach to ...
