New strategy to weaken traumatic memories
Imagine that you have been in combat and that you have watched your closest friend die in front of you. The memory of that event may stay with you, troubling you for the rest of your life. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is among the most common and disabling psychiatric casualties of combat and other extremely stressful situations. view more (2009-03-17)
Team led by Carnegie Mellon University scientist finds first evidence of a living memory trace
An international team of scientists for the first time has detected a memory trace in a living animal after it has encountered a single, new stimulus. view more (2005-11-15)
Children with TVs in their room sleep less
Middle school children who have a television or computer in their room sleep less during the school year, watch more TV, play more computer games and surf the net more than their peers who don't. view more (2008-09-03)
Virtual reality and computer technology improve stroke rehabilitation
Israeli hospitals have recently started to use virtual reality therapy for stroke patients. One commonly used program has the patient watch his virtual image on a screen. view more (2008-03-11)
Memory experts show sleeping rats may have visual dreams
Memories of our life stories may be reinforced while we sleep, MIT researchers report Dec. 17 in the advance online edition of Nature Neuroscience. view more (2006-12-19)
Carnegie Mellon scientists devise method to increase kidney transplants
Computer scientists at Carnegie Mellon University have developed a new computerized method for matching living kidney donors with kidney disease patients that can increase the number of kidney transplants - and save lives. view more (2007-06-12)
How the brain weaves a memory
Memories of events comprise many components-including sights, sounds, smells, and tastes. Somehow the many features of an episodic memory are woven together into a coherent whole, and researchers have had little understanding of how this binding takes place as the memories are processed by the brain's memory center, the hippocampus. view more (2006-11-09)
UAB Scientists break the hard drive miniaturisation limit
Magnetic memory-based information storage systems are getting smaller and smaller, while their capacities are getting larger. However, there is a limit to how small they can get. If the tiny magnets used to store information are smaller than around five nanometres (millionths of a millimetre), vibrations caused by temperature can erase their... view more... (2003-07-10)
Stroke patients may be more likely to experience memory decline
A history of stroke may be associated with progressive memory difficulties in patients without dementia or cognitive impairment. view more (2006-04-11)
Researchers find link between improved memory and the use of neurofeedback
Scientists from Imperial College London and Charing Cross Hospital believe that it may be possible to improve memory by up to 10 percent through the use of neurofeedback. The results announced in the International Journal of Psychophysiology this month show a link between neurofeedback training and improved memory in a 40 person trial. Dr David... view more...

A Window into the Brain
When we absorb new information, the human brain reshapes itself to store this newfound knowledge. But where exactly is the new knowledge kept, and how does that capacity to adapt reflect our risk for Alzheimer's disease and other forms of senile dementia later in our lives? view more (2009-08-13)
Declines in other thinking and learning skills may precede memory loss in Alzheimer's disease
Cognitive abilities other than memory, including visuospatial skills needed to perceive relationships between objects, may decline years prior to a clinical diagnosis in patients with Alzheimer's disease, according to a report in the October issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2009-10-13)
New technology opens gateway to studying HIV-specific neutralizing antibodies
Many scientists believe a vaccine that prevents HIV infection will need to stimulate the body to make neutralizing antibodies, infection-fighting proteins that prevent HIV from entering immune cells. view more (2009-03-16)
Quantum memory and turbulence in ultra-cold atoms
Scientists at MIT have figured out a key step toward the design of quantum information networks. view more (2009-07-20)
New computer cluster solves 3500-year old game
Dutch computer scientists from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam have solved the game of awari. With optimal play from both players, the game ends in a draw. Awari (a mancala variant, that is also known as wari, owari, awalé, awélé, and ayo) is an ancient board game that originates from Africa, and is played worldwide now.... view more... (2002-08-29)
CSHL study finds short- and long-term memories require same gene but in different circuits
Why is it that you can instantly recall your own phone number but have to struggle with your mental Rolodex to remember a new number you heard a few moments ago? view more (2009-08-18)
A Walk In The Park A Day Keeps Mental Fatigue Away

Imaging shows structural changes in mild traumatic brain injury
Researchers report that diffusion tensor imaging can identify structural changes in the white matter of the brain that correlates to cognitive deficits even in patients with mild traumatic brain injury. view more (2007-10-26)
Smart memory foam made smarter
Researchers from Northwestern University and Boise State University have figured out how to produce a less expensive shape-shifting "memory" foam, which could lead to more widespread applications of the material, such as in surgical positioning tools and valve mechanisms. view more (2009-09-24)
