How do we learn new things? Neurobiologists using cutting-edge visualization techniques have revealed how changes across our synapses and neurons unfold. The findings depict how information is ...
Some people seem to pick up new skills the way a sponge soaks up water, while others grind through repetition with only modest gains. The gap can look like talent or luck, but neuroscience is ...
Brain researchers have identified a bridge between the thalamus and the cortex as the key area that is modified during motor learning functions. They found that such learning does much more than ...
"When we study for a test do we remember the required facts simply because we choose to do so?" he asks. "I suggest the possibility that the underlying mechanisms of incidental learning and ...
Scientists discovered that two brain chemicals in honey bees can predict how fast they will learn, offering new insight into ...
SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Scientists from UC San Diego have published a study in the journal Nature detailing how brain wiring changes while learning. The study's findings are supported by the National ...
Computer programming powers modern society and enabled the artificial intelligence revolution, but little is known about how our brains learn this essential skill. To help answer that question, Johns ...
How do we learn something new? How do tasks at a new job, lyrics to the latest hit song or directions to a friend’s house become encoded in our brains? The broad answer is that our brains undergo ...
"When we do a task that leads to a success (for example, finding a target letter in a sequence of distracting letters)," he writes, "we learn not only to better detect the target letter but we also ...
