Teachers’ beliefs matter for student learning—but myths about the brain can be easily spread and hard to dislodge. The vast majority of active and future teachers—and even more of the general public ...

Human brains can turn a single messy experience into a lasting skill, while even the most advanced artificial intelligence still needs oceans of data and careful supervision to do something similar.

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 ...

A study has revealed tantalizing clues about what may be happening in the brain when we daydream—a question that neuroscientists are still trying to understand. While the latest research, published in ...
