Neuroimaging study reveals brain changes in students are better indicators of learning than test scores.
A newly proposed learning method for those on the autism spectrum accelerates the learning process and can help to improve visual perception.
Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation applied to the motor cortex can help improve age-related impairments in learning new motor skills.
In children, traumatic brain injury can lead to reduced brain size and cognitive impairments that affect learning, researchers report.
Study uncovers the neural changes that occur during learning to improve discrimination of closely related visual objects.
Ripples occur in the human cortex, both while we are awake and asleep.
Exploring systemwide intracellular metabolic cooperation as a mechanism for learning offers promise for a better understanding of how memory and learning occur in the brain.
Findings reveal the molecular mechanism for acetylcholine in learning and memory.
Data collected from a tetraplegic man learning a BCI to play Simon showed the brain replays the learned information during sleep.
Study explores how the brain utilizes learning by inference by generating cognitive maps.
A new, open-source model of synaptic plasticity in the neocortex could propel understanding of how learning occurs in the brain.
Focusing on the largest pyramidal neurons in the motor cortex, researchers found dendritic branches do not simply pass movement information forward. Each sub-branch calculates the information and passes it to larger sub-branches, which in turn, perform the same operation. Multiple dendritic branchlets can interact with each other to amplify their combined computational product.
