Ground-breaking research analyzed over 4,000 brain scans to identify five different neuroscience-based life stages.

When we think of education, our minds often conjure up images of tests, multiplication tables and thick textbooks. But science has increasingly shown that these rigid educational practices might not ...

In humans, the process of learning is driven by different groups of cells in the brain firing together. For instance, when the neurons associated with the process of recognizing a dog begin to fire in ...

This is the first time that brain tissue has been cryogenically frozen and revived without damage. In a process called vitrification, researchers treated slices of mouse brains with cryoprotectants ...
