Around the world, many teachers still believe longstanding—but long-debunked—myths about learning and cognition. A study published this month in the journal Trends in Neuroscience and Education finds ...

We tend to think of learning as something that happens in the mind, a mental exercise of reading, practicing, and remembering. But the truth is far more visceral. Every time you learn something new, ...

Teacher educator, independent researcher, and author Zaretta Hammond has a new book out, Rebuilding Students′ Learning Power: Teaching for Instructional Equity and Cognitive Justice, which builds on ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed a geometric deep learning method that can create a coherent picture of neuronal population activity during cognitive and motor tasks across experimental subjects and ...

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, ...

The human brain is one of the most complex structures in nature, but the brain's origins stretch back hundreds of millions of years. A new study using AI deep-learning models has revealed more about ...

A multi-institutional team of researchers led by Virginia Tech's Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC has for the first time identified specific patterns of brain chemical activity that predict ...
