The shape of things to come: Shifting rewards are encoded using special neuronal patterns
Animals must make predictions about future rewards when making decisions during daily life. Specific reward-related patterns of neuronal activity are known to underlie such decisions. But now, researc...

Children should be trained to develop a photographic memory before they ever set foot in a classroom, it'd reduce the amount of years required.
Durable memories and efficient neural coding through mnemonic training using the method of loci
Mnemonic techniques, such as the method of loci, can powerfully boost memory. We compared memory athletes ranked among the world’s top 50 in memory sports to mnemonics-naïve controls. In a second stud...

Looking "behind the mirror," for the neural origins of attention.
Infants pay attention with their frontal cortex of the brain
Using an approach pioneered at Yale that uses fMRI (or functional magnetic resonance imaging) to scan the brains of awake babies, a team of university psychologists show that when focusing their atten...

Beyond Emotion: Understanding the Amygdala’s Role in Memory | Dana Foundation
Deep-stimulation experiments in rats and people suggest that increasing activity in the amygdalae can do more than just add emotional weight to a memory.
