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. view more (2008-06-17)
The clear future of electronics
A group of scientists at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) has fabricated a working computer chip that is almost completely clear -- the first of its kind. view more (2008-12-10)
'Shopping on Ecstasy': everyday memory loss associated with persistent ecstasy use
Persistent use of ecstasy leads to a loss of everyday memory, researchers from Northumbria University have discovered. For the study 23 regular users of ecstasy were compared to 30 people who had never used the drug. view more (2005-05-06)
Sleep strengthens memories and makes them resistant to interfering information
Researchers have uncovered new evidence that sleep improves the brain's ability to remember information. Their findings demonstrate that memories of recently learned word pairs are improved if sleep intervenes between learning and testing and that this benefit is most pronounced when memory is challenged by competing information. view more (2006-07-11)
Physicists find way to control individual bits in quantum computers
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have overcome a hurdle in quantum computer development, having devised* a viable way to manipulate a single "bit" in a quantum processor without disturbing the information stored in its neighbors. view more (2009-07-08)
Working memory retains visual details despite distractions
The ability to retain memory about the details of a natural scene is unaffected by the distraction of another activity and this information is retained in "working memory". view more (2006-01-20)
Memory function varies after damage to key area of the brain
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have discovered dramatic differences in the memory performance of patients with damage to the hippocampus, an area of the human brain key to memory. view more (2008-10-23)
Mayo Clinic research shows that improving brain processing speed helps memory
Mayo Clinic researchers found that healthy, older adults who participated in a computer-based training program to improve the speed and accuracy of brain processing showed twice the improvement in certain aspects of memory, compared to a control group. view more (2009-02-11)
Pager system helps reduce routine memory problems after brain injury
A simple paging system (Neuropage) can reduce the consequences of routine memory loss in people who have sustained major head injury or stroke, finds research in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. The system involves a series of microcomputers linked to a conventional computer, and, by modem, to a paging company. Each user... view more... (2001-03-13)
The Correct Fingerprint Counts - New Method Designed To Improve The Transmission Security Of Sensitive Data
Neuroscientists at Bonn University have developed a new process for encoding sensitive data in such a way that only the intended recipient can read them -using, for example, authentication per iris scan or fingerprint. They are presenting their concept, for which a patent has now been applied for, at the Hanover Trade Fair (Pavilion 18, stand AO2)... view more... (2004-04-07)
Activation of a protein solidifies fear memory in the brain
When activated, a specific protein in the brain enhances long-term storage of fearful memories and strengthens previously established fearful memories. view more (2006-01-25)
Aging impairs the 'replay' of memories during sleep
Aging impairs the consolidation of memories during sleep, a process important in converting new memories into long-term ones. view more (2008-07-30)
When less attention improves behavior
new study conducted at the Centre for Studies and Research in Cognitive Neuroscience of the University of Bologna, and published by Elsevier in the February 2009 issue of Cortex shows that, in confabulating patients, memory accuracy improves when attentional resources are reduced. view more (2009-01-22)
Sense and sensibility in short-term memory
More than three centuries ago, Sir Isaac Newton reflected on the similarities between the sense of hearing and the sense of sight. Newton's speculations were impossible to test scientifically, until now. view more (2007-02-20)
C-myc required by the immune system
C-myc, a gene commonly involved in cancer onset, has been found to have a role in the immune system's normal function according to a study published today in Blood. view more (2006-05-12)
Memory in artificial atoms
Three of our nano-physicists have made a discovery that can change the way we store data on our computers. This means that in the future we can store data much faster, and more accurate. Their discovery has been published in the scientific journal Nature Physics. view more (2008-04-08)
Human eye inspires advance in computer vision from Boston College researchers
Inspired by the behavior of the human eye, Boston College computer scientists have developed a technique that lets computers see objects as fleeting as a butterfly or tropical fish with nearly double the accuracy and 10 times the speed of earlier methods. view more (2009-06-18)
Memory uses separate information pathways
The researchers studied two signals from different sensory parts of the brain, one of which arrived at the perirhinal and the other at the postrhinal cerebral cortex. These parts of the brain are located close to the sulcus and receive information from areas of the brain which process different types of sensory information. The information enters... view more...

MU psychologists demonstrate simplicity of working memory
A mind is a terrible thing to waste, but humans may have even less to work with than previously thought. University of Missouri researchers found that the average person can keep just three or four things in their "working memory" or conscious mind at one time. view more (2008-04-24)
EDINBURGH MEN SOUGHT FOR MEMORY LOSS STUDY
Professor Jonathan Seckl's team, based at the Centre for the Study of the Ageing Brain at the Western General Hospital, has already carried out research which indicates memory loss in the elderly may tie in with higher-than-normal levels of glucocorticoids, hormones which boost blood sugar levels in times of stress. The researchers believe... view more... (1999-06-21)
