A new ‘biomimetic’ model of brain circuits and function at multiple scales produced naturalistic dynamics and learning, and even identified curious behavior by some neurons that had gone unnoticed in ...

“Brain-based learning” is everywhere. From TED Talks to professional development workshops, educators are told that neuroscience holds the key to unlocking student potential. We hear about prefrontal ...

Teachers are increasingly encouraged to become amateur neuroscientists. For the last decade, educational materials have promoted neuroplasticity, the brain’s capacity for adaptation, as the key to ...

A study reveals that the effectiveness of brain stimulation on motor skills is determined by an individual's learning ability rather than age, highlighting the need for a more personalized approach to ...

Assistant Professor of Biomolecular Engineering Tal Sharf holds up a specialized chip for recording electrical activity in brain organoids. Artificial intelligence (AI) has proven its incredible ...

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, ...

Light is quietly becoming the new language of brain technology. Instead of thick wires and skull-penetrating electrodes, a new generation of implants uses tiny LEDs and optical sensors to send ...
