The social side of work is in short supply these days. Post-pandemic, many organizations have turned to some form of a hybrid approach: employees splitting their time between remote work and commuting ...

A new study has used a type of machine learning called a neural network to reveal how different kinds of training can change ...

Life can be tricky. We have so many decisions to make. It's a good thing we have an orbitofrontal cortex and hippocampus to help us. These areas of the brain work together to help us sort through ...

Mice that received vagus nerve stimulation after training remembered a learned movement better several days later.

The brain works like a muscle. Thinking, learning, and practicing a skill literally causes structural adaptations in our brains. For instance, scientists examining musicians’ and non-musicians’ brains ...

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 ...

What if improving children’s mental health — and life outcomes — could be done by teaching kids how their brains work? That’s a key idea behind the approach of teachers at Momentous School in Dallas, ...

It might soon be “game over” for the video game controller. Yale researchers have developed a new kind of brain-computer interface (BCI) that lets humans play video games directly with their brains.
