Astrocytes form large networks of interconnected cells in the central nervous system. When these cell-to-cell couplings are disrupted in the brain of adult mice, the animals are no longer able to ...

There is direct evidence of spatial learning in any butterfly or moth species. Melissa Breyer was Treehugger’s senior editorial director before moving to Martha Stewart. Her writing and photography ...

Biology and medical researchers use spatial transcriptomics (ST) technologies to detect transcription levels in cells, predict cell types and build a tissue's three-dimensional (3D) structure. However ...

Nuri Jeong remembers the feeling of surprise she felt during a trip back to South Korea, while visiting her grandmother, who'd been grappling with Alzheimer's disease. "I hadn't seen her in six years, ...

Neuroscientists have documented a link between spatial and verbal reasoning by scanning students' brains while taking a course that emphasized spatial learning. The traditional tests and grades that ...

earning spatial elements of a new environment is important for people and animals. However, how this process occurs in the brain remains poorly understood. Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) are abundantly ...

Of the many contributions that Jerome Bruner made to the scientific study of education, perhaps none is more important than his insistence that we must challenge students to learn and to think and ...
