A new study reveals those with a better working memory tend to get bored of experiences more quickly. The study could have implications for consumers and marketers in maintaining interest in their products.
Researchers report the mediodorsal thalamus plays a key role in rapidly updating information as we learn.
A new study examines the relationship between brain function and the impact of life events on depressive symptoms.
A new study reveals that over night, the brain automatically preserves memories for important events and filters out other, less relevant information. The findings provide new insight into the processes that help guide decision making and human behavior.
Learning and memory abilities may vary, depending on the nature of individual experiences early in life.
A new study reports neural activity in the prefrontal cortex reacts as though every experience is brand new, even if the event is similar to ones that have previously occurred. Researchers say this could account for feelings of déjà vu.
New findings about neurodevelopment could have implications for drug development.
According to researchers, the visual environment a zebrafish matures in affects their spontaneous brain activity.
Researchers report animals with previous conditioned experiences form memories using different plasticity mechanisms to naive subjects, even if they are about to learn the same thing.
Researchers describe the biological mechanism that drives flashbulb memories.
In order to make informed choices, rats replay past experiences, a new study reports.
Researchers have discovered how the brain attempts to compensate for poor performance in tasks which require complicated transformation, such as writing your name backwards.
