Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...

In mouse brain cells, and in follow-up work involving worms and human cortical neurons, the team found that many axons ...

Memory has limits but can be improved with focus, chunking, and spaced repetition. Testing recall and reducing distractions ...

A new McGill-led study reveals that digital brain exercises can rejuvenate aging brain systems responsible for learning and memory. Older adults using BrainHQ for 10 weeks showed restored cholinergic ...

A team of researchers discover how the stentor, an organism made of a single, gigantic cell, learns without a brain.

The single-celled Stentor coeruleus learns through CaMKII-driven protein modification, mirroring mechanisms found in the human brain.

A team led by Professor Ed X. Wu and Dr. Alex T. L. Leong has achieved a major breakthrough in understanding how the brain ...

Just like vertebrates, cephalopods—such as octopuses and squid—have elaborate brains. Neuroscientists are flocking to them ...

The hippocampus follows a "tabula plena" model, starting with dense, random connections that are pruned into an efficient ...

There is a deeper side to the brain which weaves your memories, goals, beliefs and emotions into a continuous sense of self.

Recent advances in large-scale AI models, including large language and vision-language-action models, have significantly expanded the capabilities of ...
