The human brain learns more effectively at night than in the morning, a young scientist in Australia said. Researcher used magnetic brain stimulation to investigate how the brain learns. He found that the cerebral cortex, the area of the brain that controls movement, learns best at night, radio reported.
The findings could have implications for people who are recovering from brain injuries. "In rehabilitation therapy for people who have had a stroke, for example, we can perhaps identify a time of the day when their brain is most receptive to therapy and they can potentially get better quickly," he said. The brain is an important part of the central nervous system located within the skull.
