Researchers find that the amygdala is a sophisticated mediator that chooses between action-based and stimulus-based learning ...

A Dartmouth study challenges the conventional view that the amygdala—the two-sided structure deep in the brain involved in emotion, learning, and decision making—is simply the brain's primitive "fear ...

Scientists at Rice University have produced the first full, dye-free molecular atlas of an Alzheimer’s brain. By combining ...

In Maryland, a district's decade of effort to train more than 4,000 educators on how the brain learns best—so they can apply cognitive science in their own classrooms—begins to pay off.

The findings, drawn from research by the McKinsey Health Institute in collaboration with the World Economic Forum, underscore ...

A UCSF study led by Kerala scientist Vijay Namboothiri challenges Pavlov’s theory that repetition drives learning.

Researchers identify that the brain's sensory checkpoint (TRN) undergoes a molecular "upgrade" in adulthood for high-resolution perception.

The dominant theory in neuroscience has been that the sensory processing circuits in our brain are finalized in early ...

Discover how white matter changes in the brain can predict aging trajectories and cognitive decline in individuals.
