Brain study reveals memories stick when learning triggers a brief “energy emergency” in glucose-sensing neurons.

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, ...

Neurodevelopment involves the brain's formation of systems responsible for learning, memory, social skills, and overall function. Critical neurodevelopmental processes such as neurogenesis, synaptic ...

The hippocampus serves as the primary learning and memory center of the brain, but this is not where our memories are held. Rather, memory traces or engrams are represented by the connections between ...

Researchers found that older adults learned a memory task best after practicing multiple related tasks, suggesting that diverse cognitive training supports mental sharpness as we age. When Ilber ...

Researchers at Leipzig University have gained important insights into learning mechanisms in the brain of the fruit fly ...

Letting an AI assistant handle the hard parts of thinking feels efficient in the moment, but a growing body of cognitive science research suggests that convenience comes at a measurable cost. When ...

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 ...
