Children across America are struggling to focus. Teachers report shorter attention spans, while parents watch their kids battle distractions. Academic performance continues to decline despite endless ...

Researchers have discovered how an ion channel in the brain's neurons has a kind of "molecular memory," which contributes to the formation and preservation of lifelong memories. The researchers have ...

Our brains may work best when teetering on the edge of chaos. A new theory suggests that criticality a sweet spot between order and randomness is the secret to learning, memory, and adaptability. When ...

A new study suggests a single exercise session can increase electrical “ripples” in parts of the brain that support memory and learning ability. The research recorded electrical activity directly from ...

An international study has revealed a surprising connection between quantum physics and the theoretical models underlying artificial intelligence. The study results from a collaboration between the ...

Whether working memory (WM) is encoded by persistent activity using attractors or by dynamic activity using transient trajectories has been debated for decades in both experimental and modeling ...

Two concepts haunt modern science like unsolved riddles. Information—the currency of the digital age, the stuff of genes and neurons, perhaps the fabric of reality itself. And consciousness—the inner ...

New research suggests that 20 minutes of cardio may help boost memory and show an uptick in brain ripples. These brain ripples are associated with processing information and reinforcing memories.

Technology—particularly artificial intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and Big Data—is transforming every aspect of our lives, including education. Digital tools that offer new ways of teaching, ...

We often hear that regular exercise keeps our bodies healthy. But what many people don’t know is that it also plays a major role in keeping our brains sharp. A short workout can do much more than burn ...

Researchers have discovered how an ion channel in the brain’s neurons has a kind of ‘molecular memory’, which contributes to the formation and preservation of lifelong memories. The researchers have ...
