A new study reveals that working memory limitations stem from learning challenges rather than storage capacity.

Working memory is what allows humans to juggle different pieces of information in short-term scenarios, like making a mental ...

The neurological condition can cause people like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to have voices that break and can sound “strangled.” ...

The capacity of one’s working memory -- how many tasks can be performed simultaneously -- is considered to be limited.

A study in eLife reveals that 'chunking' information enhances working memory beyond its capacity. Using computer models, researchers found dopamine plays a crucial role in learning, offering insights ...

Researchers are looking at the basal ganglia, which helps to regulate movement; the cerebellum, which helps to control balance; along with the cortex which initiates movement and senses sensation.

"Our findings suggest that behavioral inflexibility in autism arises from deficits in the communication between dopamine and acetylcholine in the basal ganglia. We will continue to investigate how ...

Cendes explains that in Parkinson's disease, there are changes in the brain structure of the so-called basal ganglia – areas of the brain associated with automatic movement. However, the study ...

Working memory is what allows humans to juggle different pieces of information in short-term scenarios, like making a mental grocery list and then going shopping or remembering and then dialing a ...
