The brain reinforces seizure networks during post-seizure sleep by hijacking the same mechanisms used for memory consolidation.

A Dartmouth study challenges the conventional view that the amygdala—the two-sided structure deep in the brain involved in ...

The brain may inadvertently "learn" to have seizures by treating them like important memories to be stored, according to new ...

A brief afternoon nap may reset key brain processes, helping the mind stay flexible, focused, and ready to learn.

Imagine balancing a ruler vertically in the palm of your hand: you have to constantly pay attention to the angle of the ruler and make many small adjustments to make sure it doesn't fall over. It ...

A team of researchers from the University of Rochester, Yale University, and Princeton University has made a big stride in neuroscience. They have shown a method to induce learning through the direct ...

The team pinpointed the exact moment mice learned a new skill by observing the activity of individual neurons, confirming earlier work that suggested animals are fast learners that purposely test the ...
