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 ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3 and SDG 4. The interplay between neural plasticity and learning is a vibrant and continually evolving field of study. It provides the ...

Researchers have discovered how inferred emotions are learned. The study shows that the frontal part of the brain coordinates with the amygdala -- a brain region important for simple forms of ...

Researchers uncovered how estrogen subtly reshapes learning by strengthening dopamine reward signals in the brain. Rats learned faster when estrogen levels were high and struggled when the hormone’s ...

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, ...

Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute for Physiology, working in collaboration with Johns Hopkins University, have achieved an important breakthrough in brain research. The ...
