One of the most actively debated questions about human and non-human culture is this: under what circumstances might we expect culture, in particular the ability to learn from one another, to be ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...

Neuroscience continually strives to unravel the intricate relationship between neural network morphology, spiking dynamics, and their resulting functional ...

“We show that when writing by hand, brain connectivity patterns are far more elaborate than when typewriting on a keyboard,” writes Audrey van der Meer, a brain researcher at the Norwegian University ...

Researchers at Google have developed a new AI paradigm aimed at solving one of the biggest limitations in today’s large language models: their inability to learn or update their knowledge after ...

A study by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine may change the way we understand memory. Until now, memories have been explained by the activity of neurons that respond to learning events and ...

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 ...

A study in mouse models and human tissue, carried out by researchers at the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), has found that the small nuceleolar RNA ...

Handwriting notes in class might seem like an anachronism as smartphones and other digital technology subsume every aspect of learning across schools and universities. But a steady stream of research ...

Working memory is a critical cognitive system that temporarily maintains and manipulates information for complex tasks such as reasoning, learning, and decision-making. It functions as an interface ...

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, ...
