Scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively builds dense new clusters of synapses in specific parts of neurons. These ...

A new study reveals that even a short nap can rejuvenate the brain, enhancing its ability to learn and retain new information, similarly to a full night's sleep. Researchers found that a brief nap ...

Even a short afternoon nap can help the brain recover and improve its ability to learn. In a study published on January 22, ...

1. Childhood, from birth to age 9, during which time the brain is continually pruning away haphazardly created synaptic connections forged as early learning, unlearning and relearning chaotically ...

A new study has found that as little as a short nap in the afternoon can help improve brain function, recovery, boost ...

Even a short afternoon nap helps the brain recover and improve its ability to learn, researchers recently reported in the journal NeuroImage. Napping helps reorganize connections between nerve cells ...

Researchers are testing a new approach to repair early memory loss by protecting brain connections affected in Alzheimer’s ...
