New connections begin to form between brain cells almost immediately as animals learn a new task, according to a study published this week in Nature. Led by researchers at the University of California ...

We don't usually realize it, but every word we speak depends on a series of complex brain processes working behind the scenes ...

How does the brain learn from mistakes? A new Duke study reveals a hidden circuit that helps control the learning process.

A research team at The University of Osaka has identified a crucial brain region involved in motor learning during reaching movements. The parvocellular division of the red nucleus, a small but ...

When faced with difficult tasks, sometimes people hit a mental wall and make the decision to "sleep on it." Returning to the task after sleeping, they often perform better. Why? Rhythmic brain ...

Scientists reveal how sleep, especially naps, boosts motor learning after TBI, offering new insights into brain activity and rehabilitation strategies to enhance recovery outcomes. New research ...

A new study reveals that sensory brain regions, rather than motor areas, play a crucial role in retaining newly learned speech patterns. Researchers tested 60 adults adapting to altered vowel sounds ...

Researchers have discovered that the dorsal premotor cortex serves a 'meta-learning' function, overseeing and regulating physical movements. Once believed to be limited to movement planning, this ...

A new study in *PNAS* shows sensory brain regions, rather than motor regions, are crucial for storing new speech patterns. Using transcranial magnetic stimulation, researchers found that disrupting ...
