Scientists discerned that a person’s neural and behavioral outcomes shifted when simply vividly imagining a positive ...

How do we learn new things? Neurobiologists using cutting-edge visualization techniques have revealed how changes across our synapses and neurons unfold. The findings depict how information is ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

A large study of brain scans shows that our neural wiring evolves through five major stages from birth to late old age. These phases are separated by sudden turning points that mark big shifts in how ...

A new study suggests that everyday multilingual habits—from chatting with neighbors to revisiting a childhood language—may help preserve memory, attention, and brain flexibility as we age. An ...

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 ...

Your brain doesn't have to age on autopilot. New research shows we can slow—and potentially reverse—brain aging.

Research reveals why some people become brain super-agers—and how simple daily habits can help keep your brain strong, sharp, and resilient as you age.

A mouse runs through a maze it’s explored a dozen times. But inside its brain, the map is never quite the same. New research from the University of Chicago is shedding light on how the mind ...

When you think about your favorite teacher, you probably don’t remember what grades they gave you—you remember how they made you feel. Maybe they got you excited about a book or a science experiment, ...

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 ...

But why is that? What is it about our relationships that make them so central to our lives? According to neuroscientist Ben Rein’s new book, Why Brains Need Friends, it comes down to our brains. As he ...
