Since its development about 40 years ago (1981–2021), Morris water maze has turned into
a very popular tool for assessing spatial learning and memory. Its many advantages have …

The current generation of adolescents grows up in a media-saturated world. However, it is
unclear how media influences the maturational trajectories of brain regions involved in …

Persistent activity generated in the PFC during the delay period of working memory tasks
represents information about stimuli held in memory and determines working memory …

We present a new framework characterizing training-induced changes in WM as the
acquisition of novel cognitive routines akin to learning a new skill. Predictions were tested in …

Physical capacity and coordination cannot alone predict success in team sports such as
soccer. Instead, more focus has been directed towards the importance of cognitive abilities …

New findings from the neurosciences receive much interest for use in the applied field of
education. For the past 15 years, neuroeducation and the application of neuroscience …

The metacognitive ability to introspect about self-performance varies substantially across
individuals. Given that effective monitoring of performance is deemed important for effective …

“Neural coding” is a popular metaphor in neuroscience, where objective properties of the
world are communicated to the brain in the form of spikes. Here I argue that this metaphor is …

Working memory is fundamental to cognition, allowing one to hold information" in mind." A
defining characteristic of working memory is its flexibility: we can hold anything in mind …

Cognitive functions such as working memory (WM) are emergent properties of large-scale
network interactions. Synchronisation of oscillatory activity might contribute to WM by …
