A new study challenges the idea that consciousness is necessary to make sense of language.

It’s further proof that even fairly complex neural processes are not the same as consciousness.

The brain’s memory center may begin life more like a crowded web than an empty canvas. Researchers discovered that early neural networks in the hippocampus are dense and seemingly random, then become more organized by shedding connections over time.…

New research suggests that super-agers generate twice as many neurons as typical older adults. But you don't have to be a super-ager to stay sharp.
