New 'everyday cognition' scale tracks how older adults function in daily life
As more adults age into the high-risk period for cognitive impairment, clinicians need simple and reliable methods to identify where they may have problems in everyday life that reveal underlying changes in the brain. (2008-07-01)
Seniors with type 2 diabetes may experience memory declines immediately after eating unhealthy meal
Adults with type 2 diabetes who eat unhealthy, high-fat meals may experience memory declines immediately afterward, but this can be offset by taking antioxidant vitamins with the meal, according to new research from Baycrest. (2008-06-26)
Anti-inflammatory drug blocks brain plaques
Brain destruction in Alzheimer's disease is caused by the build-up of a protein called amyloid beta in the brain, which triggers damaging inflammation and the destruction of nerve cells. (2008-06-24)
Drug reverses mental retardation caused by genetic disorder
UCLA researchers discovered that an FDA-approved drug reverses the brain dysfunction inflicted by a genetic disease called tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). (2008-06-23)
Researchers find an evolutionarily preserved signature in the primate brain
Researchers have determined that there are hundreds of biological differences between the sexes when it comes to gene expression in the cerebral cortex of humans and other primates. (2008-06-20)
Study of marine snail leads to new insights into long-term memory
UCLA cellular neuroscientists are providing new insights into the mechanisms that underlie long-term memory - research with the potential to treat long-term memory disorders. (2008-06-20)
Neuroscientists Show Insulin Receptor Signaling Regulates Structure and Function of Brain Circuits
A team of neuroscientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) has demonstrated for the first time in living animals that insulin receptors in the brain can initiate signaling that regulates both the structure and function of neural circuits. (2008-06-19)
Hot flashes underreported and linked to forgetfulness
Women in midlife underreport the number of hot flashes that they experience by more than 40 percent, and these hot flashes are linked to poor verbal memory, according to a study by researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago. (2008-06-17)
Memory loss linked to common sleep disorder
For the first time, UCLA researchers have discovered that people with sleep apnea show tissue loss in brain regions that help store memory. (2008-06-11)
Decreased total sleep time associated with increased REM sleep during subsequent naps
Decreased nightly total sleep time, even within the normal range, is associated with an increased percentage of REM sleep during subsequent naps. (2008-06-10)
