New research reveals a compelling link between physical activity and improved memory function. Findings published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity indicate ...

Students practice a procedural skill—knot tying—to investigate if and in what way sleep affects learning and memory in relation to a learning a procedural skill. Sleeping is a behavior that is natural ...

Students make a model of the human brain and use it to map the brain structures that govern different functions and behaviors. explain that the brain is divided into distinct functional sections.

Figure 1: Delay-period activity recorded in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in vivo. Activity may be maintained in a neural network through recurrent excitation. This idea underlies the Hopfield model 27 ...

We tend to think of ourselves as being born with a magnificent and intricate piece of organic hardware we call the brain, along with a massive but blank hard drive that we refer to as memory. What we ...
