A new study finds the hippocampus reorganizes memories to predict rewards. This discovery explains how the brain learns and why Alzheimer's affects decision-making.

A groundbreaking study identifies a "master switch" molecule, miR-181d, that controls the chaotic behavior of glioblastoma cells.

This list contains universities and college neuroscience programs offering undergraduate and graduate neuroscience degrees. These programs offer psychology and neuroscience degrees such as bachelor of ...

Summary: Handwriting, compared to typing, results in more complex brain connectivity patterns, enhancing learning and memory. This study used EEG data from 36 students to compare brain activity while ...

Meditation’s impact on memory is a fascinating confluence of ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience. Evidence suggests that meditation can stimulate changes in the brain, or neuroplasticity, ...

Summary: New research highlights how parasitic infections can alter brain chemistry and behavior in humans. Toxoplasma gondii, among others, appears to manipulate dopamine and immune responses, ...

A new study challenges the long-standing belief that episodic and semantic memory rely on distinct brain systems.

Summary: Researchers have developed the MyoStep, a next-generation soft exoskeleton designed to help children with cerebral palsy walk more easily and safely. Combining artificial muscles, smart ...

Summary: New research provides direct evidence that the gut microbiome communicates with the brain through the vagus nerve. Using germ-free mice, scientists observed significantly reduced vagal nerve ...

Summary: Researchers identified five major phases of human brain wiring that unfold from birth to old age, marked by four major turning points at ages 9, 32, 66, and 83. Childhood and adolescence are ...

This is in line with a recent theory on how our brain works: it is a prediction machine, which continuously compares sensory information that we pick up (such as images, sounds and language) with ...

Summary: A large-scale study of more than 86,000 Europeans found that speaking multiple languages may help slow biological and cognitive aging. Using artificial intelligence to assess “biobehavioral ...
