A nap to recap: How reward, daytime sleep boost learning

A new study suggests that receiving rewards as you learn can help cement new facts and skills in your memory, particularly when combined with a daytime nap.

The findings from the University of Geneva, to be published in the journal eLife, reveal that memories associated with a reward are preferentially reinforced by sleep. Even a short nap after a period of learning is beneficial.

An Optimistic Study of Learning in Older Brains

Your brain gets older every day. Here's one reason that might not be so bad.

By now you know that as your brain ages, it looks more and more like Swiss cheese.

Empathetic teachers enhance children’s motivation for learning

Empathetic teachers enhance children’s motivation and academic skills, such as reading, writing and arithmetic skills.

Jet lag-like sleep disruptions spur Alzheimer's memory, learning loss

Chemical changes in brain cells caused by disturbances in the body's day-night cycle may be a key underlying cause of the learning and memory loss associated with Alzheimer's disease, according to a University of California, Irvine study.

The research on mice, led by UCI biomedical engineering professor Gregory Brewer, provides the first evidence that circadian rhythm-altering sleep disruptions similar to jet lag promote memory problems and chemical alterations in the brain.
