Researchers map links between size of hippocampus and progression to Alzheimer's dementia
UCLA researchers sought to test the theory that the hippocampus - the area of the brain that processes memory - is smaller in patients with mild cognitive impairment who develop into Alzheimer's dementia, and that it is larger in patients with mild cognitive impairment who experience cognitive stability or improvement. view more (2006-05-09)
Anticholinergic drugs linked to mental impairment in elderly people
Anticholinergic drugs may lead to mild cognitive (mental) impairment in elderly people, finds a study published online by the BMJ today. view more (2006-02-01)
Women with diabetes at high risk of mental decline
Women with diabetes have worse mental (cognitive) function and suffer greater cognitive decline than women without diabetes, warn researchers. Cognitive decline is an intermediate stage between normal ageing and dementia. This study will be available on bmj.com on Monday 23 February 2004. Researchers interviewed 18,999 women aged 70-81 years, who... view more... (2004-02-20)
Breastfeeding for less than 3 months may affect child's intelligence
Breastfeeding for less than 3 months may affect a child's intellectual development, finds research in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. The intellectual and motor skills of 345 randomly selected children were assessed at the ages of 13 months and 5 years. The length of time they were breastfed was recorded. Almost two thirds of them were... view more... (2001-08-20)
A Specific Psychotherapy May Increase Psychological Well-being
Two Italian researchers (Drs Fava and Ruini of the University of Bologna) describe a new development in psychotherapeutic research, a specific therapy for increasing psychological well-being. The Authors outline the background of its development, the structure of well-being therapy, its key concepts and technical aspects. Well-being therapy is... view more... (2003-05-26)
Cognitive problems associated with diabetes duration and severity
Individuals with mild cognitive impairment appear more likely to have earlier onset, longer duration and greater severity of diabetes, according to a report in the August issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-08-12)
Birth weight and social class linked to educational achievement
Birth weight and social class at birth have a strong influence on cognitive (mental) function in children, say researchers in this week's BMJ. The study involved 10,845 males and females born during 3-9 March 1958 in England, Scotland, and Wales. The team investigated the combined effect of birth weight and socioeconomic environment on cognitive... view more... (2002-08-07)

One reason to test premature babies early: Results provide clues to later cognitive development
Now a study from researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, N.Y., and the University of Ghent in Belgium, finds that early cognitive deficits in infancy such as poorer attention, slower processing speed and poorer recognition memory are important harbingers of later cognitive deficits. view more (2005-11-14)
Breakthrough for Kids with Epilepsy: Surgery Reduces Seizures and Increases IQ
A study on 50 preschool-aged children with epilepsy who underwent surgical treatment showed significant improvements on overall cognitive development and left many seizure-free. The article is published in the journal Epilepsia. view more (2005-04-22)
Innovative 3D-imaging technique captures brain damage linked to Alzheimer's disease
Using an advanced three-dimensional mapping technique developed by UCLA researchers, the team analyzed magnetic resonance imaging data from 24 patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and 25 others with mild Alzheimer's disease. view more (2007-10-12)
Post-mortem brain studies reveal features of mild cognitive impairment
The brains of patients with mild cognitive impairment display pathologic features that appear to place them at an intermediate stage between normal aging and Alzheimer's disease, although some patients with mild cognitive impairment develop other types of dementia. view more (2006-05-09)
Omega-3 intake during last months of pregnancy boosts an infant's cognitive and motor development

Older women with memory problems at increased risk for restless nights
Older women experiencing memory loss are more likely than women without cognitive decline to have problems falling asleep and staying asleep. view more (2007-07-17)
New research suggests that recognising early impairments may make Alzheimer's a treatable disease
Alzheimer's Disease need no longer be a death sentence but will become more treatable, if detected in its early stages. Evidence on brain scans, in conjunction with performance on psychological test showing mild cognitive impairments (MCI) like slight memory loss, pinpoints more people at risk of developing Alzheimer's Disease. A study at SCP will... view more... (1999-03-16)
Chewing your way to a better brain
Substances as diverse as chewing gum, aromatherapy oils, and ginseng may all increase your cognitive performance. Over a number of decades, there has been a growing interest in the use of such substances that are believed to have a positive effect on aspects of cognitive performance such as thinking and memory. view more (2002-02-27)
Supplementing babies' formula with DHA boosts cognitive development
Research has shown that children who were breast fed as infants have superior cognitive skills compared to those fed infant formula, and it's thought that this is due to an essential fatty acid in breast milk called docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). view more (2009-09-15)
Heart failure linked to cognitive impairment
