When education is framed primarily as optimizing neural circuitry, we risk losing sight of the full complexity of human ...

A new study reveals that the brain’s responsiveness and capacity for learning shift with the time of day, governed by molecules like adenosine that link metabolism, sleep, and neural signaling.

Despite not having a lab to work in this semester, students in Manuel Díaz-Ríos's introductory neuroscience class are conducting experiments wherever they are with their own do-it-yourself (DIY) kits.

Eight investigators across the United States will receive funding over the next five years to develop innovative neuroscience education programs for K-12 students and their teachers. Activities ...

Learning involves changes in the brain and affects all aspects of human behaviour. Such brain changes are particularly pronounced during the early school years, when children learn for the first time ...
