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.

How do we learn new things? Neurobiologists using cutting-edge visualization techniques have revealed how changes across our synapses and neurons unfold. The findings depict how information is ...

Learning is often framed as effort plus discipline, yet 'How We Learn' by Stanislas Dehaene offers a far more precise explanation. Drawing from cognitive neuroscience, Dehaene explains how the brain ...

Researchers challenge the "efficiency" theory of the brain, showing that neurons become more coordinated and share more information as learning occurs.

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. New science explains why children outlearn AI in language—and what it means for tech, childhood, and the future of learning.

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.

Computer programming powers modern society and enabled the artificial intelligence revolution, but little is known about how our brains learn this essential skill. To help answer that question, Johns ...

What can a honey bee tell us about human learning? According to researchers at Virginia Tech and Arizona State University, ...

When we look for something moving in the sky, our expectation would be very different if the object is a bird flying past or a baseball coming straight at us. UC Davis scientists in a new study looked ...
