A new report shows that children learn arithmetic most effectively when instruction combines conceptual understanding and timed practice.
A satisfying intimate relationship may help diminish chemotherapy-related cognitive problems experienced by patients with breast cancer, a new study suggests.
Background: Older adults with cognitive deficits face difficulties in recalling daily challenges and lack self-awareness, impeding home care clinicians from obtaining reliable information on functional decline and home care needs and...
A brisk walk, a splash of water aerobics, or even a light jog around the block 鈥� if your heart rate goes up then so too will your brain health according to ...
Have you ever asked yourself what motivates people, or what makes someone 鈥渢ick鈥� inside? If you have, then you鈥檝e already ventured mentally into one of the most interesting and popular majors at the University of Northern Colorado (UNC).
Led by UNC School of Medicine鈥檚 Weili Lin, PhD, researchers document cognitive milestones revealed in children from birth to toddlerhood in brain imaging study.
A new study offers insight into what is happening in our brains when our working memory must use its limited resources to remember multiple things. Researchers found that two parts of the brain work together to ensure that more brain resources are given to remember a priority item when a person is juggling more than one item in memory.
Childcare shortages across Michigan have made it difficult to fill around 9,000 vacancies for early childhood educators. This shortage has affected the state鈥檚 ability to provide care to children, a critical service that鈥檚 not only important for early childhood development and school readiness but necessary for a strong Michigan workforce and economy. Because these staff shortages impact children and families, Michigan State University鈥檚 Department of Human Development and Family Studies is working to counter the deficit by providing graduates skills and experience through its child development major
Researchers have developed an AI-driven machine learning model that can predict post-concussion injury risk in athletes with 95% accuracy, analyzing more than 100 variables. The machine's algorithm has potential beyond sports, including the ability to predict fall risk in patients with Parkinson鈥檚 disease.
High levels of physical activity may mitigate brain loss in adults and help maintain long-term cognitive health, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center report in a study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology.
A simple method of brain stimulation has been shown to change how people make decisions. These were the findings of a new study by the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU), which was published in the "Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience". The investigation used transcranial direct current stimulation, which is an established method in research and therapy.
Children who attend school-based sites in Georgia鈥檚 universal pre-K program start kindergarten better prepared than their peers who do not attend any Georgia pre-K, according to a new study from the University of Georgia.
As scientists explore the connections between nutrition and the aging brain, a new study from researchers at Tufts University is shedding light on how insufficient consumption of vitamin K may adversely affect cognition as people get older.
New research finds that older adults whose children did not graduate from high school experienced early cognitive decline, while older parents whose children completed college were less likely to experience the onset of dementia.

Researchers have introduced improved cognitive tests to assess dementia in older Africans, part of the HAALSI-HCAP study in rural South Africa. These tools, tailored for local contexts, enhance global ageing research and could inform a national survey. With dementia rates rising, findings will aid prevention and policy.
A newly developed blood test for Alzheimer鈥檚 disease not only aids in the diagnosis of the neurodegenerative condition but also indicates how far it has progressed, according to a study by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Lund University in Sweden.
Type 2 diabetes may rewire the brain in ways that mimic early Alzheimer鈥檚 disease 鈥� and UNLV researchers say the 鈥渨hy鈥� may lie in a previously unexplored connection between high blood sugar levels and a key part of the brain called the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC).
The body鈥檚 cells respond to stress鈥攖oxins, mutations, starvation or other assaults鈥攂y pausing normal functions to focus on conserving energy, repairing damaged components and boosting defenses.
Stroke survivors who have attended some level of higher education may face even steeper mental declines, according to a study led by Michigan Medicine. The findings suggest that attending higher education may enable people to retain greater cognitive ability until a critical threshold of brain injury is reached after a stroke.
