To make our way through the world, our brain must develop an intuitive understanding of the physical world around us, which we then use to interpret sensory information coming into the brain.

A study suggests that even if an individual is asleep, their brain might not be. It is based on an exercise where researchers ...

The study, published in the June-July issue of the journal Brain and Language, is the first to use patterns of resting-state brain rhythms to predict subsequent language learning rate.

Distinct patterns of electrical activity in the sleeping brain may influence whether we remember or forget what we learned the previous day.

The researchers found that as monkeys learn to categorize different patterns of dots, two brain areas involved in learning -- the prefrontal cortex and the striatum -- synchronize their brain ...

Through advances in brain imaging techniques and computer algorithms that detangle the signals, the team was able to explore in detail the firing patterns of these neurons while mice were learning a ...

Researchers have identified a neurochemical signature that sets Parkinson's disease apart from essential tremor—two of the ...

A five-minute measurement of resting-state brain activity predicted how quickly adults learned a second language, report scientists.
