A single exercise session increased electrical activity in a brain region tied to learning and memory, a first-of-its-kind ...

Memory is not a recording device. It doesn't play back events like a video camera would. Instead, it's a remarkably active, ...

The production effect refers to the robust finding that words read aloud, rather than those read silently, are more effectively encoded and later retrieved. This phenomenon is attributed to the ...

Memory doesn’t live only in the brain. Scientists are uncovering signs that cells throughout the body can remember, too. These findings are starting to challenge old ideas about how and where memory ...

(Beyond Pesticides, December 12, 2024) A literature review of 161 articles in Discover Toxicology finds that pesticides with different mechanisms of action cause memory and learning impairments. These ...

These distinct tests enabled the scientists to observe specific hippocampal activity during learning and then memory replay and consolidation in sleep. Because of the way our pupils change in response ...

The UCLA Brain Research Institute hosted the annual Southern California Learning and Memory Symposium on March 3. Participants and attendees gathered in the Neuroscience Research Building for a day of ...

Our brains change as we age, and connections between the different parts of the brain become less efficient. This explains why learning new things is more challenging for older people, according to ...

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, ...

Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) researchers have used a form of artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze anatomical changes in the brain and predict Alzheimer's disease with nearly 93% accuracy.
