For decades, scientists have focused on the brain as the primary location for memory storage and processing. However, recent groundbreaking research from is challenging this long-standing assumption, ...

Learning difficulties often stem from hidden brain barriers such as stress, multitasking, fatigue, and cognitive overload. Understanding these factors can help learners improve focus, memory, and ...

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

The UCLA Brain Research Institute hosted the annual Southern California Learning and Memory Symposium on March 3. Participants and attendees gathered in the Neuroscience Research Building for a day of ...

It is now understood that the hippocampus is closely linked to learning and memory (Doidge, 2015; Suzuki, 2015). However, this was not always the case. One prominent experiment investigating memory, ...

Researchers found that older adults learned a memory task best after practicing multiple related tasks, suggesting that diverse cognitive training supports mental sharpness as we age. When Ilber ...

The hippocampus serves as the primary learning and memory center of the brain, but this is not where our memories are held. Rather, memory traces or engrams are represented by the connections between ...

These distinct tests enabled the scientists to observe specific hippocampal activity during learning and then memory replay and consolidation in sleep. Because of the way our pupils change in response ...

For decades, dopamine has been celebrated in neuroscience as the quintessential "reward molecule"—a chemical herald of pleasure, motivation, and reinforcement. In popular understanding, higher ...
