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 figure from the research paper shows that both the model and experimental animals learned a task at a very similar pace. A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and ...

Active learning puts students at the center of the learning process by encouraging them to engage, reflect, and apply what they’re learning in meaningful ways. Rather than passively receiving ...

WHY NEUROSCIENCE RESEARCH IS GOING TO THE HEADS OF THECLASS BRAIN-BASED LEARNING (SECOND EDITION) Eric Jensen, M.A. (Brain Store Inc., 2000) FOR THE LEARNER'S SAKE: BRAIN-BASED INSTRUCTION FOR THE ...

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, ...

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 ...

For decades, higher education has relied on a familiar model: expert-led lectures, content-heavy curricula and assessments designed to measure recall. While this approach has produced graduates with ...

A new machine-learning-based approach to mapping real-time tumor metabolism in brain cancer patients, developed at the University of Michigan, could help doctors discover which treatment strategies ...
