| Remember more by taking breaks Posted: 29 Jul 2021 09:20 AM PDT We remember things longer if we take breaks during learning, referred to as the spacing effect. Scientists gained deeper insight into the neuronal basis for this phenomenon in mice.

Possibly, this allows the neuronal connections to strengthen with each learning event, such that knowledge is stored for a longer time. |
