Learning to read reshapes how the brain processes language. New research from Baycrest and the University of São Paulo shows that learning to read fundamentally changes how the brain responds to ...

Researchers report that complex sugar molecules in the brain might affect plasticity, which is involved in learning and memory. During their study, the researchers changed one of the genes in mice and ...

A 20-year study found a brain game that boosts speed and splits attention helped prevent Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

In our age of information overload, remembering things can be a daunting task. But as a memory researcher and college professor, I’ve found some hope in that challenge. In January 2021, like millions ...

Research indicates that repetition and distributed practice effectively fires and rewires the brain, thereby strengthening memory and improving learning potential. This approach aims to develop and ...

Learning difficulties often stem from hidden brain barriers such as stress, multitasking, fatigue, and cognitive overload. Understanding these factors can help learners improve focus, memory, and ...

Researchers from the MRC Brain Network Dynamics Unit and Oxford University's Department of Computer Science have set out a new principle to explain how the brain adjusts connections between neurons ...

In a scientific feat that broadens our knowledge of genetic changes that shape brain development or lead to psychiatric disorders, a team of researchers combined high-throughput experiments and ...
