Brain aging is a complex and multifaceted process caused by the loss of neural circuits and synaptic plasticity, which is associated with cognitive decline and structural changes 1. These changes are ...

Extensive practice can rewire the brain so a learned skill runs more automatically, making some forms of true multitasking ...

Teachers are increasingly encouraged to become amateur neuroscientists. For the last decade, educational materials have promoted neuroplasticity, the brain’s capacity for adaptation, as the key to ...

Brain tumor detection is essential for early diagnosis and successful treatment, both of which can significantly enhance patient outcomes. To evaluate brain MRI scans and categorize them into four ...

A new study suggests that learning and remembering speech relies more on how the brain processes sounds and sensations than on the areas that control mouth and face movements. The discovery could ...

The team pinpointed the exact moment mice learned a new skill by observing the activity of individual neurons, confirming earlier work that suggested animals are fast learners that purposely test the ...

Assistant Professor of Biomolecular Engineering Tal Sharf holds up a specialized chip for recording electrical activity in brain organoids. Artificial intelligence (AI) has proven its incredible ...

Study authors Hunter Schweiger (left) and Ash Robbins. Imagine balancing a ruler vertically in the palm of your hand: you have to constantly pay attention to the angle of the ruler and make many small ...

New Baycrest research reveals that the brain remembers what we see and what we hear in different ways. Visual memories tend ...

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, ...

A new study reveals that obesity accelerates brain aging by locking a vital memory-regulating molecular pathway called K63.
