Neuroplasticity and sleep hygiene enhance learning, memory, and habit formation by refining cognitive maps and strengthening neural connections.

Researchers have systematically detailed, step by step, how cognitive maps form in the brain's hippocampus -- a region responsible for learning and memory.

These cells work to rebuild myelin, but inflammatory conditions often block their efforts. -Using the brain collection, we can precisely map which areas of the brain are most active in the repair ...

The answer lies in a membranous structure called myelin. Aa Aa Aa All our activities — eating, walking, talking — are controlled by our brains, the center of the nervous system. The brain ...

Myelin, the fatty substance that sheaths and insulates the axons of neurons, is responsible for aiding the quick delivery of signals throughout the brain. Too little myelin leaves the cells vulnerable ...

A critical part of this process is myelination, in which the myelin ... thanks to the cognitive map her brain constructed. Sleep: The Catalyst for Memory and Learning Research highlights how ...
