Learn the new science of brain development and discover the importance of connections and learning for ongoing brain health.

A landmark international study that pooled brain scans and memory tests from thousands of adults has shed new light on how structural brain changes are tied to memory decline as people age. The ...

A recent study in mice suggests that microglia, immune cells found in the brain, may play a role in early memory loss, or ...

A new study in mice suggests that memory problems in Alzheimer’s disease may stem from a breakdown in how the brain replays recent experiences during periods of rest. The research was carried out by s ...

A massive international brain study has revealed that memory decline with age isn’t driven by a single brain region or gene, but by widespread structural changes across the brain that build up over ...

Previous research has found that the human brain reaches maturity sometime in the 20s, but a new study suggests that it never stops developing. Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens. A new study by researchers in The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory ...

The process of “epigenetic memory” in nerve cells plays a key role in learning ability, memory function, and healthy brain ...

Given the complexity of the process, it’s astonishing any human has ever mastered the ability to read. Although written language is ancient — we’ve been at it for roughly 5,000 years — it’s not an ...

A recent study from Oregon Health and Science University found common air pollutants can alter adolescent brain development.

Boost cognitive performance by consuming Omega-3 fatty acids from Hilsa, Vitamin K found in leafy greens, and Choline-rich eggs. These essential nutrients improve memory, stabilize moods, and provide ...
