A single 20-minute session on a stationary bike can trigger a measurable surge in memory-linked electrical activity deep inside the brain, according to new research from the University of Iowa. The ...

Researchers identify the Munc13-1 protein as a crucial molecular pathway for working memory, linking calcium signaling to synaptic strengthening.

A randomized placebo controlled experiment shows that increasing noradrenaline during learning does not improve basic memory accuracy but increases the spread of associations across the hippocampal ...

Working memory is what allows humans to juggle different pieces of information in short-term scenarios, like making a mental grocery list and then going shopping or remembering and then dialing a ...

A single session of physical exercise can spawn a boost of neural activity in brain networks that underlie learning and ...

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 ...

Humans are known to rapidly adapt their mental processes and behavior based on feedback they receive from the world around them. For instance, some past studies have shown that people progressively ...

Age can make memory feel like something that only moves in one direction. A name slips away. A route you know well turns fuzzy. In Alzheimer’s disease, that slide can look even steeper. Yet the brain ...

Researchers at Google have developed a new AI paradigm aimed at solving one of the biggest limitations in today’s large language models: their inability to learn or update their knowledge after ...
