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

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

From sharpening focus to sparking memories, music is proving to be more than just background noise. Research shows it can enhance learning, improve memory retention, and even protect brain health at ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

One of sleep’s key functions is to stabilize and integrate new memories into our brain’s long-term memory systems, a process known as "consolidation." This idea is now widely accepted, though it ...
