New research shows jazz improvisation relies on shifting brain networks as musicians move from memory to creative freedom.

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons.

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 ...

Researchers have crossed a threshold that once belonged squarely to science fiction: they have built working models of brains ...

Research finds handwriting activates key brain regions for memory and learning, suggesting schools should balance traditional and digital practices. Study: Handwriting but not typewriting leads to ...

A recent study published in Psychology of Sport & Exercise has found that long-term engagement in competitive athletics is ...

Assistant Professor of Biomolecular Engineering Tal Sharf holds up a specialized chip for recording electrical activity in brain organoids. Artificial intelligence (AI) has proven its incredible ...

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, ...

Experts say the more we challenge our brains as we age, the more resilient it becomes—and “learning a new instrument is a full-brain workout.” After the age of 40, the average brain decreases 5 ...

The human brain requires constant nourishment to maintain its complex network of billions of neurons, yet certain foods actively work against optimal brain function. While most people focus on foods ...
