The research on learning and memory shows that learning is possible and memory can be enhanced across the lifespan, unless the brain is compromised by disease or injury, and even then there is more ...

A new study reveals that the brain’s responsiveness and capacity for learning shift with the time of day, governed by ...

This bioengineering breakthrough has found a way to make neurons grown in a dish react just like the real thing. "Neurons that fire together, wire together" describes the neural plasticity seen in ...

Our brains do not react in a fixed, mechanical way like electronic circuits. Even if we see the same scene every day on our ...

The debate over adult neurogenesis may have just been won. New research out of the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden provides evidence of adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus, a finding that could ...

A study in mice by a Harvard Medical School (HMS)-led research team has reported new insights into what is happening in the brain while we daydream. The study, through which the researchers tracked ...

Three scientists have collectively won The Brain Prize—the largest award for neuroscience—in recognition of their contributions to the science of brain plasticity. Richard Morris, a neuroscientist at ...

Biomedical engineering master’s student Junpeng Li, recently published a first-author review of advances in bioelectronics ...
