SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Scientists from UC San Diego have published a study in the journal Nature detailing how brain wiring changes while learning. The study's findings are supported by the National ...

Modern imaging is contributing significantly to giving us a better understanding of how our brains work. In the long term, this will also help us to treat learning disorders in a more targeted way and ...

No body, no dopamine, no problem. Scientists have successfully coached lab-grown brain tissue to solve a classic robotics challenge, proving that the will to learn is hardwired into our neurons.
