Scientists discovered that two brain chemicals in honey bees can predict how fast they will learn, offering new insight into ...

Some people seem to pick up new skills the way a sponge soaks up water, while others grind through repetition with only modest gains. The gap can look like talent or luck, but neuroscience is ...

A brief afternoon nap may reset key brain processes, helping the mind stay flexible, focused, and ready to learn.

A multi-institutional team of researchers led by Virginia Tech's Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC has for the first time identified specific patterns of brain chemical activity that predict ...

Princeton researchers found that the brain excels at learning because it reuses modular “cognitive blocks” across many tasks. Monkeys switching between visual categorization challenges revealed that ...

Vision happens when patterns of light entering the eye are converted into reliable patterns of brain activity. This reliability allows the brain to recognize the same object each time it is seen. Our ...

The brain is our body’s command center, the control tower for our body and mind—no wonder it’s the focus of intense research across the globe, with so much interest in figuring out the mysteries of ...

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 ...

Post-pandemic, many organizations have turned to some form of a hybrid approach: employees splitting their time between remote work and commuting into the office. Instead of everyone interacting ...

A single clear image can rewire the visual brain, making later recognition faster without relying on memory systems.

Handwriting requirements were cut from school curricula around the world. Now it’s looping back, riding on a wave of evidence.
