Human brains can turn a single messy experience into a lasting skill, while even the most advanced artificial intelligence still needs oceans of data and careful supervision to do something similar.

The world’s most powerful supercomputers can now run simulations of billions of neurons, and researchers hope such models ...

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 ...

The most notable for me is that research demonstrates how we can influence our longevity by making small consistent changes.

Your brain is constantly evolving. Throughout your life, it reshapes, adjusts, and grows stronger in response to learning, new experiences, and your habits. This amazing shape-shifting ability is ...

Most children in elementary school begin learning about the body and how it works; however, research reveals that parents and teachers tend to leave out information about the brain. In fact, one study ...

Experts say the more we challenge our brains as we age, the more resilient it becomes—and “learning a new instrument is a full-brain workout.” After the age of 40, the average brain decreases 5 ...
