A recent study combining neuroscience and artificial intelligence (AI) sheds new light on how memory-related regions of the ...

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 ...

Our brains may work best when teetering on the edge of chaos. A new theory suggests that criticality a sweet spot between order and randomness is the secret to learning, memory, and adaptability. When ...

Memory sits at the center of how we learn, work, and maintain relationships. It shapes identity, supports decision-making, ...

In a world saturated with stories—from ancient myths to TikTok clips—narratives knit together emotion, memory, and meaning. A new study in the Journal of Neuroscience suggests that how a story is told ...

A new machine learning model shows that star-shaped brain cells may be responsible for the brain's memory capacity, and someday, it could inspire advances in AI and Alzheimer's research. When you ...

A protein named after a Greek goddess is reshaping how scientists think about cognitive decline — and it turns out the brain doesn't just age passively. It negotiates with aging every day, through ...

Learning is often framed as effort plus discipline, yet 'How We Learn' by Stanislas Dehaene offers a far more precise explanation. Drawing from cognitive neuroscience, Dehaene explains how the brain ...

Our memories make us who we are—just ask Barbra Streisand. But despite the lyrics in many popular songs, memories aren’t frozen in time. When we call them up, the details shift and change. And ...

When educators panic about artificial intelligence in the classroom, they often fall back on a familiar definition of learning: a change in long-term memory. It sounds scientific. It gives the ...
