ScienceDifferent cortical regions have been implicated in mathematical learning, but their causal role is less clear. This study reveals the causal role of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the frontoparietal network in mathematical learning using transcranial neuromodulation in human participants.Read Article
Functional connectivity and GABAergic signaling modulate the enhancement effect of neurostimulation on mathematical learning

ScienceSleep supports memory consolidation, but can it also facilitate memory reorganization? This study reveals that N2 sleep, but not N1 sleep during a nap, increases the likelihood of having an 'aha' moment about a previous decision-making task, and that spectral slopes of EEG power spectra predict future insights.Read Article
