A single exercise session increased electrical activity in a brain region tied to learning and memory, a first-of-its-kind ...

A single session of physical exercise can spawn a boost of neural activity in brain networks that underlie learning and memory, according to a new study led by the University of Iowa. The researchers ...

A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be ...

"Super-agers" seem to produce more new nerve cells in a brain region important for memory than other people their age ...

Scientists at the University of Illinois College of Medicine Chicago found that “SuperAgers” generate twice as many new ...

Memory is not a recording device. It doesn't play back events like a video camera would. Instead, it's a remarkably active, ...

Researchers found three master genes that alter brain development in Down syndrome, offering new clues about learning and memory differences.

Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in ...

Not only do our brains appear to generate new neurons into adulthood, but those of superagers contain far more brain cells in development than those of healthy peers, new research has found. According ...

Study maps five major eras of brain wiring from birth to old age, revealing the key turning points that shape how we learn, ...

People who lose their visual imagination after a stroke share damage to a single neural circuit. A new analysis maps these ...
