New research reveals a compelling link between physical activity and improved memory function. Findings published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity indicate ...

Students practice a procedural skill—knot tying—to investigate if and in what way sleep affects learning and memory in relation to a learning a procedural skill. Sleeping is a behavior that is natural ...

Students make a model of the human brain and use it to map the brain structures that govern different functions and behaviors. explain that the brain is divided into distinct functional sections.

Figure 1: Delay-period activity recorded in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in vivo. Activity may be maintained in a neural network through recurrent excitation. This idea underlies the Hopfield model 27 ...

Neuroscientists have investigated the reciprocal interactions between two brain regions that represent visual working memory in mice. The team found that communication between these two loci of ...

We tend to think of ourselves as being born with a magnificent and intricate piece of organic hardware we call the brain, along with a massive but blank hard drive that we refer to as memory. What we ...

It doesn’t take an extraordinary brain to get smarter about remembering. From techniques used by memory champions to fundamentals like securing enough sleep and maintaining healthy behaviors, just ...
