When the brain rests, it usually replays recent experiences to strengthen memory. Scientists found that in Alzheimer’s-like ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba and their collaborators have demonstrated that learning from both rewarding and aversive ...

A new study finds the hippocampus reorganizes memories to predict rewards. This discovery explains how the brain learns and why Alzheimer's affects decision-making.

A preclinical study published in Nature has found evidence that the hippocampus, the brain region that stores memory, also ...

A baby's babbling may sound like nonsense, but it's actually an extended act of trial-and-error learning. As babies produce ...

A preclinical study published in Nature has found evidence that the hippocampus, the brain region that stores memory, also reorganizes memories to anticipate future outcomes. The findings, from ...

Research suggests that infants who are better at detecting rhythm in music are also better at recognizing patterns in ...

Lifelong plasticity is a core principle of neuroscience, yet it operates within real limits shaped by effort, stress and ...

New research suggests pain is not a simple signal of injury but a process that unfolds across nerves, spinal cord, and brain.

Alzheimer’s may destroy memory by flipping a single molecular switch that tells neurons to prune their own connections. Researchers found that both amyloid beta and inflammation converge on the same ...
